Broadness, flock of seventeen, including four immatures and a blue phase bird, flew down the Thames, and were later seen at Cliffe quarries.

This is assumed to be the same flock, also including four immatures and a blue phase bird, that were present at Andijk, Noord-Holland, Netherlands from 18th-26th April.

One of the adults was a male Lesser Snow Goose, A. c. caerulescens, ringed as a gosling in 1977, at La Perouse Bay, Manitoba, Canada.

This is the first proven record of genuine vagrants in the county.
