Like I said I find it very hard to believe that migrateing pinks were that far south in August good luck this coming season they came in mid sept here last year. They have not cut any wheat round here with the weather. When they do come in they will be spoilt for choice for stubble , Quote Link to post Share on other sites

windmig 1 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 If I may stick an ear in your discussion, in France, the waterfowl migration has started quite early and is also notably strong. Some geese were already seen flying to the south. Even a jacksnipe was observed in Normandy by end of August which is incredibly soon as the first ones are supposed to be seen in France by end of September. Concerning the pink footed geese, I have no point of view as they don't come to France. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
