WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY Dark bellied Brent Geese on the Isle of Wight

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.

  1. Interesting, I have never seen this kind of goose. Seems the darkest part is on their head and neck.

  4. So small compared to the lunker greylags and canadas that life on my local lakes.

  5. Maybe they were all visiting the salon as it seems they were all preening!
