A Pink-footed Goose on Lundy on 15 May is the 10th record for the island but the first ever in spring. The goose was first seen on Pondsbury by James Leonard, who managed to take this photograph of the bird in the Tillage Field a day later.

The first Pinkfoot record for the island occured on 24 January 1940, when Felix Gade reported two birds.
