Barnacle Goose - Branta leucopsis - a photo on Flickriver

            After the big gale in the UK called Storm Eunice this unexpected visitor arrived the following day on one of my two local lakes I live next to in Welwyn Garden City  and was a great surprize and find, It spent a few weeks hanging around with the local flocks of Canadian Geese before flying away. Generally rather shy and unapproachable. Not nearly so widespread as Canada Geese. Found in the UK from autumn and usually until the late spring.
