Brent Goose (and Hebridean Sheep) - Spurn Head

One of my favourite species of waterfowl, and in terms of geese only beaten by one other!

This was actually my first time seeing the species in the wild!

I have to ask, what's the one other?

They are quite common up in Northumberland over the winter months

The one which beats it is Red-breasted Goose (which interestingly enough is the sister species to Brent)

Well generally I only visit the UK for a few days in winter and my longer visits to the UK are just during the summer so I haven't seen most winter UK species. I've visited lots of places where I believe there are many Brent in winter so I was lucky enough to see this single individual early Brent which had been hanging around the Kilnsea Wetland area for the last week or so.
