Lol, I don't think anyone could mistake which one that is! Impressive picture of this mixed group of geese highlighting the local rarity. Remarkable picture JJ. Congratulations on the Red-breasted Goose! TFS!

Very well spotted and captured, JJ! Only seen one of these beauties once - in a flock of Barnacle Geese.
