Unusual visitors to the Greensward. Dark Bellied Brent Geese. They breed on the Siberian Tundra and thousands of them fly south, via the Baltic and North Sea, to spend winter in Chichester or Pagham harbour. They don't normally land on our Greensward, it may have been their first point of arrival in the country. After a brief stop, they moved on. Photo by Andrew Alexander, committee member.
