'Wellies' required at Gayhurst

If anyone's thinking of going to Gayhurst Quarry, be sure to take your wellies or preferably waders. It is as flooded as I've ever seen it, with the bottom end of Spinney Pit impassable. The Geese were all feeding in the field below Fishing Pit and numbered about 300. After texting Paul Moon I found another PINTAIL - so 1 drake and 2 females - the only Pintails in Buckinghamshire at present. Again there are masses of waterfowl on Motorway Pit including 166 Mute Swans. I also had 1 Little Egret and 7 Bullfinches (Rob Norris)
