More Pink-footed geese
Since returning from Helgeland, I have been helping collect data on Pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus (N=kortnebbgås) in the counties of Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag. It has meant getting up well before dawn, driving to potential roosts or to potential feeding sites, and following the geese throughout the day. Unfortunately there have been few good photo opportunities, and the few photos I have taken have been mainly flight shots (have been too busy collecting data on feeding birds to take ground shots). A few of the better pictures are reproduced below. Note the White-tailed eagle Haliaeetus albicilla (N=havørn) in one of the photos, which disturbed the whole flock.
