Barnacle Goose at Dolydd Hafren

 

Many thanks to Tony Evans for the record and the photo: this Barnacle Goose was grazing yesterday with Greylags and Canadas at Dolydd Hafren. Individuals are occasional visitors to this side of the county - but at Cors Dyfi a wintering flock is sometimes sighted across the Dyfi at high tide. These birds - of uncertain origin - nest on an island in Derwentwater in the Lake District.
