(Anser indicus) The bar-headed goose is a goose that breeds in Central Asia in colonies of thousands near mountain lakes and winters in South Asia, as far south as peninsular India. The bar-headed goose is one of the world's highest-flying birds often seen at heights of over 28,000ft. The birds seen in the UK are thought to be descendants of escapees from collections and this small breeding colony of geese is well established at Grange over Sands in Cumbria.

Happy Labour Day weekend everyone!

The current owner has painted the bars matte silver, although you can't see that very clear in this B&W. :-)
The slightly visible lamp behind these bars repeats in some way the patterns.
I saw this Bar-tailed godwit near my house on the beach near the Zuidpier, Velsen. It was the first time I saw it, very special! I was very low near the ground to make this photo. Wet shoes, wet feet and wet knees.... But it was worth it!

This Bar-Tailed Godwit did not make it from its home in Alaska to New Zealand. It stopped here in the SF Bay Area for some reason unknown to all of us. But normally each fall, migratory flocks take flight from western Alaska nonstop for over 10,000 km (6,000 miles) until they reach their nonbreeding grounds in New Zealand and Australia.
Needless to say it's a rare bird here and many birders from all over come to find it and take its photo.
Another fascinating tidbit is that they digest parts of their own organs as part of an incredible adaptation for their long, non-stop migration. They absorb up to 25% of the tissue from their liver, kidneys, and digestive tract to make room for extra fat and to reduce weight. This process, called autophagy, allows the organs to be rebuilt once the birds arrive at their destination.
