Red-Breasted Goose at South Swale NR

Red-breasted Goose with Dark Bellied Brent Geese

On the early morning of the 2nd November the Faversham WG pinged with news of a Red-breasted Goose showing well near the chalets at South Swale NR.

I grabbed all my birding gear and headed straight there, on arrival i met Chiddy & Colin who were still watching the Red-breasted Goose and it didn't take me long to locate it amongst the huge number of Dark Bellied Brent Geese.

I took some Digi-scoped pics to , here are a small selection.

Un-ringed and in very good condition , right time of year and turning up with 1000's of Dark Bellied Brent Geese will hopefully help it get accepted by the powers that be.
