Its the first record of Pale bellied Brent Goose in Calderdale and the second record of Brent Goose , a really excellent find, Pale bellied Brent geese are very rare inland and a lot rarer than Dark bellied Brent geese. There are very few Yorkshire records of inland Pale bellied Brents . A lot of inland records are of birds flying over and are not always identified to sub -species level and just go down as Brent Goose.....it really was a great find. Well done Brian Sumner for identifying them as Pale bellied brents..
