Greater White-fronted Goose

Very surprised this morning to see an odd goose in a flock of Egyptian Geese. I was working by the cow sheds so didn't have any binoculars with me but the white blaze was visible from a distance. Luckily rain stopped play early which gave me the chance to rush home and pick up bins and camera.

Greater White-fronted Goose! Very pleased to see that here.
