brent goose

Bernache cravant - Branta bernicla - Brent Goose

Have a great weekend y'all.

Have a great Bank Holiday weekend y'all.

We're off back to Hastings this morning...Y'all have a great weekend.

Sitting alone on the end of the Nord-zee-Weg opposite Hook of Holland, it would not turn to face the camera.

Flock of Brent geese flying out of the Irish Nature Park, next to the industrial estate on the south side of Dublin Port

BWP Vol 1 is short on detail, but this posture is apparently used in 'hostile encounters in autumn flocks between family groups'. Certainly looks that way!

This big group of Brents were well visible, feeding on the salt marsh. A bit distant though, so a big crop.

Strange really... there didn't seem to be a whole ton of birds with a quick look around, but take your time and they started to reveal themselves. We spotted this group having a wash in the main channel running through the salt marsh. Bit distant, so a heavy crop.

One of the most common geese we saw, and this bunch treated us to a fine display as they circled around. They were hidden out of sight before they took off, and am not sure what spooked them, can guess though LOL.
