Canada Goose


 Many of these birds an be found at Ferrymoor. During migration even hundreds of them flying in every day. They are a large goose with a black head and a distinctive white throat patch. This species originally from North America has spread to cover most of the United Kingdom. Large flocks of them can be very noisy. In the spring when the really cute chicks hatch they are a sight not to be missed.
