Cotton Pygmy-goose

Post by Bill Jolly »

Lots of ducks at Abberton just now, including lots of Hardhead, but this-morning around 10am a male and female Cotton Pygmy-goose were feeding busily in the water weeds close to the house.

The only previous Abberton record of Cotton Pygmy Goose was on Christmas Day 1997.

I forgot to mention the other day that a Buff-banded Rail was washing and splashing in the open, just a few metres from the Latham's Snipe.

Two Hobbies were flashing around the place yesterday and today.
