GREYLAG GOOSE Anser anser

The familiar grey goose, found on almost every body of water in England. All are feral, but genuine breeders do occur further north, the party of juveniles was taken in Scotland. It is the most southerly breeder of the grey geese, in a band from Iceland to China, and wintering south. The other birds here are Icelandic breeders which winter in Shetland.
