At least 44 White-fronted Geese are in the Goose House Ground (field to the north of the Tack Piece) including the two juvenile Greenland White-fronts. Out on the Dumbles over the seawall were a pair of Avocet on the Dumbles scrape along with 302 Wigeon and a pair of Oystercatcher, briefly joined by a third bird causing an argument.
