They have the shortest tail of any goose and have a highly developed salt gland that allows them to drink salt water.
Think I'd rather see these over the Canada Geese any day. At least they don't stick around.
Another species that I was hoping to capture on my trip.
J'espérais qu'il n'était pas trop tard pour photographier cette espèce...

All adult Brant have white markings on the neck, most pronounced in the "Black" Brant and least developed in the "Atlantic" Brant, though individuals show variation in the size of this necklace in all populations. A Canadian study found that individuals tended to pair with others that had similar amounts of white in the necklace.
Brant is quite an uncommon species around here. This is my first ever June record.

After watching a few tutorials on landscape editing I decided to revisit this panorama, and as a result I'm much happier with the result. Taken in the Lake District in Spring: an image of the sun rising over Brant Fell. The image has been stitched together from about 8 images creating an 82MP image. The detail in the original is quite something. As a result I think I might be employing this technique in any future panoramas I might do. The quality of image is far superior than taking one photo using a wide angle lens (simply because there is far, far more detail being resolved) and the distortion and any other problems such as CA are far less. The only downside is you have to be quick: this technique is no good for fast changing conditions.

A very rare visit to Boise, Idaho for this goose that normally is seen on the Pacific and Atlantic coastline of North America in the winter.
"No other geese nest as far north as the Brant, and few migrate as far. These small geese are characteristic of coastal areas in summer and winter; most birdwatchers know them from seeing their wintering flocks along both of our coasts. Traveling between their summer and winter outposts, they may fly at altitudes of several thousand feet as they cross great expanses of land or open ocean."
