Bar-Headed Goose

My pictures today are of a very smart looking Bar-Headed Goose seen on the Dart Farm Pool in Topsham , these birds are one of the highest flying birds & has been seen flying as high as the Himalayas , they come from around Tibet & far East Asia and winters in South Asia , but birds seen in this country are almost certain to be escaped birds that are now living in the wild .
Also seen today was a Common Kingfisher , 4 Fieldfare , a Mistle Thrush , a Stock Dove & 2 Chiffchaff........But no sign of the female Brambling the bird that I was looking for !
