Barnacle geese.

How common are they in the county or do we just see them as a passage birds?
Was surprised today to see a small number mixed in with the greylags between Dounreay and Forss today, presume they are waiting to move further north when weather conditions permit.

[Pterodroma]

Not uncommon Lizz, particularly in the Autumn and a few often stay with grey geeese. There is a regular wintering flock on South Walls, Orkney

Thank you, have seen them September time at Dunnet Bay but no where else until last week.
