Branta leucopsis
Is a medium-sized goose, with a white face and black head, neck, and upper breast. Its belly is white. The wings and its back are silver-gray with black-and-white bars that look like they are shining when the light reflects on it. During flight a V-shaped white rump patch and the silver-gray underwing linings are visible
They were passing the winter in Het Zwin (vogelreservaat)

beautiful marta!
You are lucky, these birds are very rare here in Norway....
Thanks! the birds are wintering in a bird reserve and then is easier to approach them for pics :-)
Great pictures Marta!
