PALE-BELLIED BRENT GOOSE Branta bernicla

Pale-bellied Brents breed in northern Russia and winter in Northwest Europe, including the UK. However they are outnumbered by the third subspecies, dark-bellied, particularly in the south. These photos were all taken in the UK, the centre birds on Shetland where they pass through on migration.
