Another grey day at Middleton Moor was brightened up by the presence of two Egyptian Geese this morning. Ray Scally found them first thing and fortunately I was on the A6 heading to Youlgrave to look for the geese there, so it wasn't too much of a diversion.
As far as we can tell this is this first Middleton Moor record since two spent four days there from from 11th - 14th August 1979, as reported in the Birds of the Sheffield Area.
I've still never seen one in the Bakewell/ Matlock area despite there resident status now in southern Derbyshire.
The Slavonian Grebe was also still present this morning.
