Chiffchaff (2), Goldeneye, Greylag Goose

Overcast this morning, but relatively calm.  A Chiffchaff sang from beside the path again and this time I was able to see it, but it remained difficult to photograph; I only managed some poor shots.  At one point I thought there might be two birds, and in fact looking back at the photos it seems there were - one bird has a metal ring on its right leg, and another photo (not shown) has one without any rings.

The long-staying Goldeneye was present just off the spit, and I noticed a Greylag Goose on the water off the Pavilion area.
