Stanford reservoir; a visit here after lunch hoping to see the Pink-footed Geese that was found here yesterday by Chris, mixed in with the Grey Lag Geese. Checking through those Geese on the dam I didn't find them. A few birds were on the water nearby, so I walked along to be able to see them better and surprise 2 Greater White-fronted Geese were just swimming to the dam - but no Pink-feet. They seemed settled and did some preening and bathing.
After awhile they flew a short way on to the corn field and fed with more Grey Lags. I never did find the Pink-feet.
Usual winter ducks were present but few Passerines seen. A Blackbird and Song Thrush were feeding on the dam slope.
On a pasture near the reservoir entrance a missed flock of Redwing and Fieldfare was feeding, at least 100 Fieldfares.
