Lancashire's less interesting bird by the name of Ross's

The Ross's goose was still amongst the pinkfeet when I visited this evening, the barnacle was out of sight but was certainly present earlier along with the 2 whoopers (per JWB/PW posting on LDBWS).
Gadwall pair remain at Darter Pool, where the coot still sits tight on the nest and a pair of mute swan are busy constructing theirs. A little egret was also feeding here.
Tufted duck pair still on Freeman's Pools.
4 black-tailed godwit at the Wildfowlers' Pools (2 in breeding plumage).
Grey partridge pair and 5 reed bunting near Walled Meadow.
