The great wild goose chase 12 - the end (Anser brachyrhynchus)

Off they go, heading North. The Pink-footeds breed in our northernmost county, Finnmark, and on the Spitsbergen Islands. I assume it's on account of the protein-enriched diet of grass packed with mosquitoes. They'll be stopping by on their way southwards around September and then again next Spring heading north again.
