White-fronted Geese

For me winter really starts when i see Geese entering our country such as Taiga Bean Geese, Brent Geese, Greylag Geese and these White-fronted Geese. I was actually out to get some shots of Taiga Bean Geese as they are the most scarse ones but was glad to get a couple of shots of these too..

Greetings,

Strange name for a goose that doesn't seem to have a white front.

Lovely shot of the birds against a hint of a background. I like it very much.

Another super flight formation. Works well Jeroen.

Hi Jeroen

A fantastic flight shot and a very neat formation, beautifully lit by reflected light, really superb image

Cheers

Andy

Beautiful great detail and lighting and love the formation captured Jeroen BG sets the image off brillant

Mike,

The name refers to the white at the front of the beak, and is a wonderful example of the many illogical bird names in Europe.

Jeroen,

Lovely shot which also captures the atmosphere very nicely.

David

Super composition and a very atmospheric image Jeroen.

Great shot, the background suits the image well.


liam.

Two great formation shots in one day on here! I really like the uniformity of the position of each bird here

Fantastic image Jeroen
