I saw the attached Goose on Newton Marsh, Lancashire yesterday which I think may be a Rossicus type Bean Goose based on the length of the bill between fabalis and Pink-footed, longer and more triangular than Pink-footed, shorter neck than fabalis and broad white margins to the mantle and tertials. I have no idea about the provenance of this bird which is rather late but would welcome thoughts on id. Sorry about the quality of the photos: it was a long way away in fading light and at no time did it show its legs before I had to leave. I will be going back tonight for another look
