Hi all,
I was looking back through some old photos of mine and found this one. Taken in Clingendael, The Hague, Netherlands on December 26th 2021. It was in a flock of Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis). Is this a Canada Goose X Barnacle Goose hybrid? It looks quite a bit like a Cackling Goose but those shouldn't really occur in the Netherlands, so I think a hybrid is a more sensible guess.
Thanks in advance,
Max
