ross’s goose added to the county list

Ross’s Goose, the long-distance North American migrant, was added to Category A of the British List back in 2021 with a record in Lancashire and North Merseyside during the winters of 1970/71 and 1973/74 but recently a review was undertaken by BBRC of all records since then and that found many more individuals acceptable. This included one record for Greater Manchester and as such, Ross’s Goose is now formally accepted onto the County List. The accepted record is as follows:

 Ross’s Goose (Bird J), 2008 Greater Manchester, Abram Flashes, 3CY+, 7th November (Rob Thorpe)
