Tarleton, Lancashire. UK Weather 4th Nov, 2019. Hundreds of Pinkiies, of pinkfoots, pinkfooted geese from Iceland. More and more come winging in from summer breeding areas on Iceland, Greenland and Svalbard, dropping down onto the Ribble estuar and the surrounding farmland to graze almost as soon as their big pink feet hit the ground.

skeins of Pink Footed Geese begin to arrive along the Sefton coast from Marshside down to Crosby. Their call is familiar to anyone who has spent any amount of time on the coast and is evocative of the winter days that loom on the horizon. although you can’t hold that against the geese. Thousands of “Pinkies” spend the winter months with us, grazing and foraging on the West Lancashire farmlands during the day and roosting on the Ribble Estuary or at other safe spots.
