BARNACLE GEESE
(Branca leucopsis)
Barnacle Geese fly above the Royal Society for the Preservation of Birds Mersehead Reserve on the Solway Firth in Dumfries, Scotland. Tens of thousands of Barnacle Geese return to the Solway each autumn from their breeding grounds in the Svalbard Archipelago inside the Arctic Circle, a distance of 2,600 km due south.
