Pink-footed Goose
(Anser  brachyrhynchus)
Pink-footed Geese take off (above) to feed from the Montrose Basin in Scotland.   Staff and volunteers at the Scottish Wildlife Trust have recorded more than 60,000 geese arriving to spend the winter in the reserve.   Although there are other species of geese with pink feet, the Pink-footed Goose is best identified by its very short beak (see blow).
