Hey, I had 18 Greater White-fronted Geese at Beachville high pond this afternoon. The birds were only in the flooded fields for a few minutes before disappearing rapidly westward. Lots of diurnal movement nearby as well, with 4 Sandhills cranes very high, a 2nd cycle Iceland Gull following the Thames and a bunch of early (for Oxford) waterfowl at pittock lake - 10 redhead, 22 Ring- necked duck, 8 greater scaup.
The beachville pond is worth rechecking, as birds often return after disappearing. The pond is halfway along Zorra line, between highway 2 and Ingersoll road.
