Wild Goose Chase.

Following up on a report of a Red-Breasted Goose in the Buscot Thames area I failed to find any sign of the bird  so I guess it had either moved on or was able to remain hidden by the lush riverside vegetation.. The area was awash with Small tortoiseshell Butterflies and Banded Demoiselles. Reed Warbler were abundant and a Kestrel put in an appearance, although the stars of the show were good numbers of the Scarlet Tiger Moth.
