Greylag Goose

Greylag Goose

Not really a common bird on our pond at Cowpen Bewley, where the odd one or two appear in amongst the Canada Geese. They do appear in great numbers of 100+ at the Saltholme Ponds and marshes, which a not far away. They breed quote freely on the marshes and seem to spend more time on the grassy marshes searching for food than they do in the water. Certainly they are a common Winter and Spring visitor.
