The Snow Geese didn’t come close…
The White-fronts did. Here are a couple looking miserable in the rain.

Cackling Geese were the second most numerous species in the flock…

There were a few Bean Geese with the White-fronts. Some were a bit small like this one, think it might be a Tundra Bean Goose?
Quite a lot of Cackling Goose…
And a handful of Snow Geese…

The nearby fields had plenty of geese…
Most of them were Greater White-fronts.

The last day with the geese didn’t yield many memorable photos…
But there were at least 2 adult blue phase Snow Geese and 1 (maybe 2) juveniles too.
Heavy crop here…

It was difficult to get shots of birds on their own…

Snow Geese numbers are increasing every year it seems…

It was pretty dark in the late afternoon and most of these shots were high ISO. There were so many shots to go through I was too lazy to denoise them in Topaz…

Most of the time the geese were either in the middle of a big field, roosting on water or flying around.
But on the second afternoon the main flock (almost all Snow and Cackling Geese) came to a sweetcorn field of stubble right by the side of the road and I was the only person there.

I took way too many BIFs…
I still have never really got the hang of flock shots.
