Hello,
I spotted this goose with the Canada geese earlier this week on Verulam Lake. It looks like a hybrid and having googled, I think it looks similar to Ross's goose x Barnacle goose hybrids. The UK seems well outside of the range of Ross's goose but there so seem to be records of vagrants and escapes. Orange legs are a bit confusing. Any thoughts?
Thanks
