The Last Post - till next year

Happy New Year to readers when it comes, and if you needed Twite for your lists, you're now too late for 2021.

The Twite below were photographed and filmed at Montrose Basin, not in their usual site which has been ploughed in, but in trees towards the Shelduck Hide. It's likely they'll range across the fields and some were seen near the Wigeon Hide where they often sit when feeding in front of the hide on the salt marsh.

Twite video, and a bit shaky, click here to view in Flickr, also on my YouTube   

Some of the 56 Twite counted sitting in trees on the track down to the Shelduck Hide at Montrose Basin

One of two Pink-footed Geese in one of the winter barley fields, neither looked injured, but I'd have expected they would have fled before I could photograph them from the track
