This goose has been migrating from its breeding ground in Sweden (~1100 km away) to spend the winter in my local area for 8 years in a row.

I was very relieved on dog walk this morning to see more than one bin chicken (white ibis) on the golf course. There has been a single one here for a few weeks and I was worried it might have been injured and left behind when the others passed through. It could fly and was eating ok. But today, there were a few others. So maybe it was the advance guard checking the route. They come through twice a year and rest up at the golf course for a few weeks each time. #binchicken #whiteibis #BirdMigration
