Geese and Swans - The Lesser White-Fronted Goose

First seen on Sunday 22nd January 2023 at Open Spaces

There are three flavours of White-fronted Goose. This one (Lesser) is by far the most rare. They are similar to a Greylag Goose, but have a white flash above their bills and a yellow ring around their eyes. The other obvious difference is the very small size. They are vagrants from North Europe.
