A Bar-headed Goose on the River Arun

Bar-headed Goose, Anser indicus
This afternoon I walked along the bank of the River Arun at Warningcamp. Another wildlife enthusiast told me about a white goose that was with four Canada Geese. I found them grazing in a field. One appeared to be a sentry as it didn’t graze but kept its head extended upwards the whole time. They then flew to the river. Afterwards I stopped at Mill Road and found the juvenile Water Vole in his usual place.
