Pale bellied Brent Geese
Pale-bellied Brents together with Eurasian Wigeon, Elswick, 09 October 2006


Brent Geese are a numerous migrant in Øygarden, however, they tend to pass during a short space of time, especially during the spring. They pass during late May - early June and again during September. Dark-bellied birds as depicted in the top picture above are something of a rarity.
