Barnacle Geese must be the most attractive looking of geese 😍. Just look at that patterning on their wings. These are part of a flock of 91 from North Skye today.

Happy sighting of a Barnacle geese gaggle hanging out in a farm pasture near Solway Firth. Love the branta genus; from Canadian to Nene to these, etc.
Neighboring jackdaws share the field.

Inktober 52 2025 - Week 47 - 'Goose'
A barnacle goose - goose barnacle!
Migrates across the sea and leaves it young behind attached to flotsam who will grow into birds come the spring. That's how it works, right?

Great Egret (Ardea alba) that just caught a small fish.
Barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) in the grass between pruning sessions so its feathers are still a little puffy.
Three Northern lapwings (Vanellus vanellus) in some shallow water. The iridescent green and purple on their wings comes out nicely in the sunlight.
Three mute swans (Cygnus olor) flying low above the water.
Didn't find the cattle or little egret and no additions to the life list, but it was a nice time being out in the sunny weather at #Arkemheen!

Ici je veux tester le filigrane inséré dans mon image. Trop dérangeant ? Pas assez dissuasif ?

En digital illustration av en vitkindad gås. Gjord i Affinity Designer 2
Jag tänkte testa om lusten att illustrera fåglar hade återvänt och tänkte att en sådan där vitkindad gås har jag inte gjort.
Det hade jag visst.
Men nu har jag gjort en till.

Figure 1 in de Vries et al. (2025): "Locations of the main study colonies for the three subpopulations (a), development of the barnacle goose Russia/Germany and Netherlands flyway population and North Sea and Baltic Sea subpopulations (b) based on population counts, and an overview of the density in ringing effort in the three subpopulations (c). The Barents Sea subpopulation is represented here in red, the Baltic Sea subpopulation in yellow, while the North Sea subpopulation is represented in blue. Data on population sizes were collected from van der Jeugd et al. (2009), Koffijberg et al. (2020), Isaksen (2020), Nagy et al. (2021) and Jensen et al. (2022). Since flyway and subpopulation counts are unavailable after 2006 and incomplete for the Baltic Sea after 2002, these have been supplemented with sizes estimated in an integrated population model, indicated by diamond-shaped dots (Baveco et al., 2020; Jensen et al., 2022)."

När jag illustrerat dessa svenska fåglar (36 arter gjorda!) så är det väldigt roligt att få till en miljö som också känns lite typisk svensk. Denna gång försökte jag mig på vitkindade gäss i Stockholms skärgård :D ganska nöjd faktiskt

🪿Yesterday Nero saw barnacle geese, but this morning there's a gaggle of Canada geese here. However, there is one barnacle goose among them. Does it have some kind of identity crisis?

Yesterday a flight of Greater Canada geese, today a flight of Barnacle geese. Of both we have some breeding colonies, but not specifically in this area. Maybe the drought elsewhere forced them to find wetter grounds 🤷🏻♀️. #birds #barnaclegoose #vogels #brandgans #wildlifeNL #nature
A barnacle goose spreads its wings wide. In the background, a Canada goose forages.
A barnacle goose walks nonchalantly along the edge of a field, seemingly unaware they’re thousands of miles from home.
No #AprilFools here! There’s a Barnacle Goose in the Pittsburgh area! They live in Europe but do sometimes end up across the pond. This little goose is the first recorded in Allegheny County. Such a joy to watch this bird for a bit! Get home safe! 🪶

Twee brandganzen met de pootjes in zeer stilstaand water.
Vanuit het hotel maakten @duuj.bsky.social en ik zondagochtend een pre-ontbijtwandelingetje. Daar zagen we deze spiegelgansjes.

In Germany the Barnacle goose is still a rather rare breeding bird. During Migration time though there can be flocks of 50k birds. Like on my picture i posted here:
