The Bar-headed Goose is often kept in captivity, as it is considered beautiful and breeds readily. Records in Britain are frequent, and almost certainly relate to escapes. This is one of them.

Hello Stephen.
Really like this one and think you have captured it perfectly, and the conditions have really helped. With the snow foreground and background matching the bird and leaving those lovely orange legs to stand out a treat.

Yeah, this works pretty well. Like the pose!
