Feeding flocks of geese were nearly always present on farmland within Sector 9 preferring Felixstowe Marshes as shown in Figure 4.3. The flocks were often disturbed and flew onto the estuary itself or nearby saltmarsh to rest for a short time before returning to the same fields. No more than 200 were seen around Falkenham Creek. The 2,183 birds recorded in February were present in a single flock towards the southern end of Felixstowe Marshes (most southerly symbol on Figure 4.3).
