These are images that I shot when I was in Ryde on the Isle of Wight.. They are Dark bellied Brent Geese. There are a few Black headed gulls among them. I
am linking it with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.
Thanks for visiting and also for all the comments you
leave on this post.
Interesting, I have never seen this kind of goose. Seems the darkest part is on their head and neck.
ReplyDeleteI like the one in the second photo who almost seems to be applauding...
ReplyDeleteHello, nice sighting of the Geese. I have seen these geese but we call them Brant Geese.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
So small compared to the lunker greylags and canadas that life on my local lakes.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they were all visiting the salon as it seems they were all preening!
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret,
ReplyDeletethe first time I've seen such quantities of geese.
Margaret, your photos are always very beautiful.
Greetings.
Thank you for this post. Again you have introduced me to a bird with which I was unfamiliar.
ReplyDeleteNice that you had lots of birds to photograph here.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and lovely to see so many geese and gulls all together.
ReplyDeleteGreat to learn about-- and to see these geese.
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is a large gathering of birds. Nice captures.
ReplyDeleteNice to find a good-sized flock!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret!:) There seems to be a lot of preening going on. Nice captures!
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see these in the winter. Ours are a little darker but otherwise pretty much the same...........
