Geese

I just popped into the Exminster Marshes for an hour this morning in hope of seeing an early Common Sand Martin but it was quite cold and there was none to be seen ! and the main things I saw were geese with 200+ Dark-Bellied Brent Geese , 2 Pale-Bellied Brent Geese and the American race Black Brant , On the way back home I had a look at the Matford Marshes on the edge of Exeter where the Ridgeways Cackling Goose was still showing well .
