I think you need to be on Facebook and then join the Northwest Birding group to view. Not my photos I'm afraid.

can you at least tell us what the facebook group is called please as lots of variations on the theme come up with no results. in britain
The group is called 'Northwest Birding' so far as I can tell. Don't use facebook much so can't really help any more than that.
The photographer has allowed me to post the images here.
It seems that it is a tundra bean goose anyhow, and still there today. Still a first for the patch!
