Observation details

Finally showed up to Royal Roads to check out the geese here which I always see in the distance from Esquimalt Lagoon. Lo and behold, the first goose I set eyes on in this beauty! I couldn't quite believe my luck! This stunner then proceeded to show at point blank range, giving crippling views down to a few metres, alongside the other geese. Really obvious bird with the broad white neck collar with a little white powder speckling going up the neck and a dark border underneath the white collar. Square head with shortish neck and petite bill. Overall paler body than minima and larger in size, more similar in colour to taverneri but shorter necked and more squat. A little bit of dark feathering on the throat but not a complete dark line separating the white cheeks.
