11:00 one with the flock of 304 Icelandic Greylag Geese in Webb's field. A Bar-headed Goose also present with this flock. The Pink-foot and Bar-head were present with the Icelandic Greylag flock at Poulaphouca / Manor Kilbride earlier this winter. Some neck collared Greylag from the Poulaphouca flock were seen at Kilcoole today also. Indicates cold weather related movement down to the coast.
