GREENGRASS Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Did you spot the bar head GG? No JD I thought it was some type of cross bread to be honest. It was only an exposure test shot as they flew over me. I was waiting on two Oyster Catches flitting about. Are they native birds to the UK??anyone Nice Bar Headed Goose with the Grey's Thanks for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Breed on the Tibetan plateau and winter in India. They hold the world record for the highest flying bird; they cross the Himalayas on migration and have been recorded flying at over 35,000 feet. They have more red corpuscles in their blood than any other bird to cope with the very low oxygen levels flying at that height. A marvel of natural engineering.

JDog Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The bird must have been blown ever so slightly off course then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 A tad. Although they are a popular species for collections. Maybe one that wasn't pinioned or clipped went errant.
