Shetland Tundra Bean Geese

 

We have had about 6 long stay Tundra Bean Geese in Shetland. These have been at Ringsta, Sandwick, Lerwick, Quendale

They have joined flocks of Greylag and a few Pinkfeet.

They are smaller than Greylags and usually stay slightly separate from the Greylag flock

 

The colour and face pattern is easily recognisable

These geese breed in Northern Siberia
