A great shot Jon, but I'm pretty sure these are Greylag Geese, not Pink Footed.

Graham, I think you could well be right, most of the birds at the waters' edge were definitely Pink-Feet, later an enormous flock came in and I just assumed they were all the same. Looking at these, the feet appear orange rather than pink.
