Brent Goose

A very confiding Dark-bellied Brent Goose (Branta bernicla bernicla) taking a rest from feeding. Taken during a recent visit to Farlington Marshes where thousands overwinter on the estuary grazing marshes.  FAB.

    Wow she is so cute! This is a beautiful picture. Were you close? It is kind of hard to get close to them over here. They are quite shy.

    Thank you Elvira. Just for once the subject didn't fly away...perhaps too full after eating all that fresh grass!
    ciao FAB.
