Spotted
The Barnacle Goose is a striking goose with a black neck, white face, and black 'cap', contrasting with its grey and white body. It breeds in Arctic regions and winters further south.
Where to spot
Look for them along coastal areas, estuaries, and agricultural fields in Northwestern Europe during winter, migrating from Arctic breeding grounds like Greenland, Svalbard, and Siberia.
How to spot
Scan coastal habitats and open fields. Identify by its distinct white face framed by black, and grey-barred back. They often form large, noisy flocks and feed by grazing.
When to spot
Best observed during the winter months (October to April) in their European wintering grounds. Migration periods in spring and autumn also offer good viewing opportunities.

Barnacle Goslings hatched on cliff ledges must make a perilous jump from hundreds of feet up within days of hatching to reach feeding grounds below, guided by their parents.
