Pink-footed Goose - Kortnebbgås - Anser brachyrhynchus
Spetsbergsgås - Kortnæbbet Gås - Lyhytnokkahanhi - Kurzschnabelgans


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.
