Many ducks, Wigeon, Pintail, Shoveler, etc.
Bullfinches as common as in summer. Many Redwings and a sprinkling of Fieldfares.
But the best bird of all we saw in a place called Escalante near Santoña, a good spot for geese. After twenty minutes of scoping through a 200-odd flock of Greylags we at last spotted the Pint Footed Goose we’d been told was there. A beautiful bird and thrilling life tick (testimonial photo attached)
