Brent Goose
Branta bernicla

Brent Geese are common Winter visitors and arrive in huge flocks around the British coast from Scandanavia, Greenland and Siberia. They eat eelgrass through the Winter so that they are well fed and healthy enough to get through the short breeding season in their summer ranges.
