Tundra Bean Goose in flight

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

The first ever country record of the Tundra Bean Goose* (Anser [fabalis] serrirostris) was reported by fellow WBCP member Alex Loinaz last week at Candaba wetlands.
This single individual became a superstar overnight among local birders, and I was fortunate to catch it in flight this April 6th. :)


* ID revised from Taiga Bean Goose after review by experts.
