That's true. It's a very rare bird in Norway.. This is one of the only places where we can find them... It's sad that we only have 15 pairs of this beautiful goose..

Nice capture :)
I looked them up in my book, it says there only is about 15 pairs in Norway and 165 pairs in Denmark, so you were lucky :)
