Greenland Whitefront tundragås with Greylags grågås
First winter Greenland Whitefront tundragås

First winter Greenland Whitefront tundragås

It's days like this that make me wonder how much stuff we miss. Barely 15 minutes of birding time in total - a drive-by at Breivik produced a Greenland Whitefront tundragås (flavirostris), four Greylags grågås and a few Fieldfare gråtrost.
Back home I actually went outside and immediately saw a 2cy Iceland Gull grønlandsmåke - no doubt a product of the recent northerly winds....
