Seen in Manor Park, Glossop on 27th August - could just be an odd domestic Greylag/Swan Goose type I guess, but has enough features of (both Greater and Lesser!) WFG for me to think it worth further investigation...
Size was a bit smaller than typical domestic Greylag/Canada, perhaps in the overlap of size range of wild-type Greylag and GWFG (the white domestic goose with it in one photo was also rather small and atypical), but it had an eye-ring like LWFG. Noticeably long legs (especially compared to the white goose next to it, which had noticeably short legs even for a domestic Greylag). No dark markings on belly. Any thoughts?
