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. |
| 1982 | Elmley, seven birds, including one blue phase with a metal ring, 16th January until 14th February. |
