Falcated Duck, 25 Greater White-fronted Geese, Taiga Bean Goose 1+1
I found the second Falcated Duck of the season. The 25 Greater White-fronted Geese that arrived on November 7 last year are still here without losing a single bird. A Taiga Bean Goose has joined them, making a big group of 26. They aren't very wary and are easy to observe. Another Taiga Bean Goose is staying alone at a different place. This one is more wary.
A male Falcated Duck in mid-moult from juvenile to first-breeding plumage. Looking pretty ragged. ^^;
The Greater White-fronted Geese that have been present for two months now total 25 birds — adults and juveniles combined.
A Tundra Bean Goose that joined the flock of Greater White-fronted Geese above. It was occasionally getting told off by the White-fronts.
A lone Tundra Bean Goose at a different location. I hid behind cover to photograph it, but it was already on alert.
