| Comments : | 16:50 adult Black Brant-type Goose with a flock of 85 'hrota' Brent Geese. Overall looks quite good for a Black Brant but the white on the neck is restricted to the sides only (so no collar) and the contrast between the black neck/chest and the solid brown belly and upperparts is quite strong. |
