Ross's Goose at Riverhead - 27th Nov

Following on from last week's White Pelican I added two more large white birds to my list today, a lovely Ross's Goose at Riverhead, and a group of 4 Tundra Swans at Hook Pond. Both sites had lots of newly arrived Canada Goose, with a 'Blue' Snow Goose at Riverhead being the only other interesting goose.

A single Ross's Goose in a flock of over 700 Canadas, standing out like a diamond in a sweep's ear!

Update 29th Nov: A sad end for the Ross's Goose on Saturday 28th when it was blasted out of the sky by a hunter. You have to feel pity for the sad, pathetic wretch who can look at a creature as beautiful as this and then shoot it. Soulless.
