Went to Snettisham to watch the Pink-footed Geese come in. Took the family and met my parents and brother with his girlfriend. They gave up because of the cold and missed a spectacular show. The most I’ve seen come in, maybe due to the low moonlight? They saw the Knots put on a great display though, particularly after a couple of Peregrines put them up.
Tried a picture of the geese after dark. Terrible picture, but does show the beautiful sunset colours. Venus is in the background.
