Bean Goose







A lone Bean Goose in among the swans at Onuma this afternoon..............presumably a straggler from the large flocks which winter further south.......................

  2. Nice shots - I've seen these at Poyang (on the Yangtse) in China, but they were miles away !

  3. Great pics. We get large flocks around Fukushimatagata, Niigata every winter but there's no chance of getting this close.

    1. This one was probably thinking 'hey this isn't Fukushimatagata, where is everyone anyway?'
