Barnacle Goose | Weißwangengans, Nonnengans | Белощёкая казарка | Branta leucopsis - Tobseda, Arctic Russia, July 2018

 

Barnacle geese established migratory and non migratory phenotypes, that can both winter at the same sites (e.g. meadows in the Netherlands). Whereas the non migratory ones breed close by, migratory birds breed in the Baltic or even north of the Arctic circle, like those on the picture.
