Drama at Fairburn!

 

I paid my usual visit to Lin Dike before going to the visitor centre for the Spoonbill walk. A dull rainy morning, which luckily cleared up before the walk started.

Hundreds of greylag and canada geese.

This pink-footed goose was with them.

Common terns were flying about before landing on the posts.

While waiting for the people to turn up for the walk, a young swan decided to land on the visitor centre roof!

After a while it made a crash landing in the play area.

One of the members of the wardens team rescued it and after checking that it was OK, released in another part of the reserve.
