Prutgås - Knortegås - Sepelhanhi - Bernache cravant
Brent Goose
can be seen at Skogsøy during the spring, usually towards
the end of May or even in early June. The species is also very regular
during the autumn - largely during the first half of
September. Most are of
the light bellied form hrota.
As for many species of wildfowl the numbers seen at Skogsøy are a lot higher than at Utsira where this species is seen less regularly and in lower numbers.
The blue line shows number of visits, the orange one the number of visits when Brent Geese have been recorded and the green one shows the maximum numbers I have recorded in any three day period.
Maximum: 2000+ (late May)
