Red Breasted Geese at Fanel!
My favourite

They’ve prompted quite a twitch, some of the top Swiss listers have been to see them today as they are unringed and with a big group of Greylag (and oddly two Barnacle Geese, so personally I’m not sure that’s a good sign for future acceptance, still a lot of ‘insurance ticking’ going on in case the Swiss Rarities Committee accepts them I suppose).

Haha, serving on a rarities Committee would not be one of my dream jobs that's for sure. I see there's a South African Shelduck with the geese flock there now, sounds like a mass zoo breakout
