As I used to be working within the workplace the pager bleeped to announce a Ruddy Shelduck close to Strumpshaw Tip. I used to be there inside ten minutes, rapidly finding the service flock of Pinkfeet and scanning them from the automotive. After a fruitless search a lady let her canine chase by means of the sphere, scattering the geese. I photographed the entire flock within the air, however nonetheless no signal of the Ruddy Shelduck.
For the reason that flock was circling over fields in direction of Beighton, I drove throughout and parked in a layby to look at them land: nonetheless no RS! You do must surprise generally how dependable these experiences are: one other birder was barely extra forthright in his feedback!
