Headed down to Virkie to see whether the Taiga Bean geese were still present. The three birds have been with a flock of Greylag for around ten days but stay separate.
It was not a good day with the gales and rain and when i arrived they were at the very back og the field. i decided to see whether they would be visible from the Virkie road and thankfully they just showed, but distant.
Managed to get a few photos before they headed back out of view. Taiga Been geese are browner and darker than other other grey geese. The yellow orange on the base of the bill usually covers half the bill
They breed from Western Siberia to Scandinavia with small numbers wintering in Scotland and eastern England.
