Ross's Goose
The last day of April 2025 and another trip to WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire.
This was a surprise arrival, A wild Ross's Goose Flew in to land on the Tack Piece Lagoon.
This is a rare Goose and is the first time I have seen a wild/escaped Ross's Goose. It was wearing a Davic Ring, ID U09.
The Ross’s Goose is similar to the Snow Goose in appearance except it is much smaller and has a more rounded head. It is similar in appearance to a white-phase snow goose, but about 40% smaller.
The Ross's Goose is the smallest of the three white geese that breed in North America.
