Quick off the heals from the recent Snow Goose close to home, yesterday afternoon a Ross's Goose was found only 15 minutes away, probably around the same time Emily and I were watching a Humpback Whale off Ullapool.
Anyway, this morning I headed out, failed to find any goose flocks, so instead walked down towards the firth from Muir of Ord, and a high-flying flock of seven Pink-footed Geese miraculously contained the Ross's. They then descended sharply to join a large flock that I had missed where the birds were present yesterday. Eventually, I re-positioned and enjoyed scope views of this dinky goose.
