Red breasted goose (Branta ruficollis) |
What this tiny little goose lacks in height
it easily makes up for in voice as this is easily one of the noisiest
geese that I have ever come across. Related to the Brent goose it breeds
in Arctic Europe and winters in south eastern Europe. Sometimes it is
a rare vagrant to GB where it can be found in amongst flocks of Brent
geese. |

This goose in the wild is classed
as vulnerable because of a threat to its habitat. There is a small flock
at Martinmere. They are quite a difficult bird to photograph because
they are so dark, making exposure tricky. I loved the RB goose in the
photo below as he looked like he was all tied up in knots! |
