Hi all,
I saw three large white geese this morning at my local wetland in North Yorkshire, UK. The past week or so there are have been over 2000 migrating Greylags present on the water. This morning I saw three large white geese among the crowds, one by itself among the Greylags, and the other two (pictured) together. They were all about the size of Greylags.
I come here often and it's very normal to see large flocks of Greylags, and occasionally Pink Footed, Egyptian, Barnacle, and White Fronted Geese. especially in the autumn, but I've never seen white geese. If they are domestic they definitely aren't locals.
Are these snow geese? Or something else?
