10c at Keyhaven - tropical!!!

[Catherine]

Because it was such a lovely day - sunny with not even a breeze, and at least 10 degrees warmer than last week - we decided to go to Keyhaven yesterday.

Unfortunately, everyone else in Hampshire decided it was a good day to visit Keyhaven too!

However, despite it being busier than we'd ever seen it, we had a great time - and saw LOTS of Dark-Bellied Brent Geese!

This video lets you hear the noise they made, developing into a crescendo as they prepared to take off; Brent Geese on the water at Keyhaven on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Here are a few pics too - so you can see the many birdwatchers walking along the coastal path - and, of course, some of the 'stars' of the day themselves!

Nice set of pics Cathereine. I have never been to Keyhaven

Thanks, folks! (The last two were Glen's - I have to admit that!)

He was using his long lens.

Car park was packed, and I've never seen so many people walking along that shore path!

Great set, not heard of these geese before.
