Barnacle goose
A sociable bird is easily recognised by its distinctive white face and belly. Unlike the similar-looking Canada goose, it has no brown colouring on its feathers.
Geese
From the geese you can spot in your local park pond to geese who migrate 3000 miles to spend the winter with us on the coast, the Solent has an array of different geese species to see. Geese are typically distinguished from ducks by their longer necks. They can be seen (and heard!) in large flocks around our coastline using a vast range of habitats from beaches to farmers’ fields.
