Hi guys
Can any one shine any light on the id of the attached goose, it was in the company of Greenland white fronts at the time, a small group of about 8 or so.It was seen about a week ago.
The shots are not great quality at all but they were taken at distance and holding pocket camera up to scope.
I thought pink footed goose at first, there was a small number of pink feet present but they were in a different area of the field. But through the scope the bill showed orange rather than pink and there was a small area of white at the base of the bill. Again unfortunately the photos do not show the details the clearest. Tundra bean goose came to mind also.Anyway regardless I would be interested to hear opinions on the bird.It is the rear goose in each shot
regards
