Pink-footed
Goose are largely an infrequent spring migrant in Øygarden
but can also turn up at other times of year. Occasionally seen
migrating either on their own or with other geese past
Skogsøy or turning up in fields at places like Breivik or
Tjeldstø.
This is in stark contrast to the hundreds, or even thousands that can
be seen during the winter back home in Northumberland.
