Branta canadensis - Canada GooseThis introduced resident is often to be seen on ponds, lakes and occasionally rivers in Wales. Canada geese graze on grassland near the water's edge, sometimes nesting in small groups. The male and female are very similar in appearance, and these birds are sometimes mistaken for winter visiting Brent geese; however, the 'oink' of a Canada goose is easily distinguished from the croaky call of a Brent goose. |
