Greater White fronted Goose, Anser albifrons, is a species that winters regularly on marshes in Eastern England but in over forty years of birding my local patch, along the Darent Valley in Kent, UK, I have never previously seen them. When I got a message from a friend that there was an arrival of three White-fronted Geese (also known as Greater White-fronted Goose) in a nearby field I diverted my walk to visit this spot. These are Russian White-fronted Geese, the subspecies albifrons, which can be told from the pinkish colour of their bills. White fronted Goose is a bird that is used to very cold winter weather but I am not and it was quite uncomfortable recording these geese. I have left the wind noise on the audio to convey a little of how fierce the weather was while I was watching these White-fronted Geese.

Amazing that they have reached that far south. They are uncommon winter visitors in SE England but u local patch doesn't contain their typical habitat so it was a local first for me.

A terrific video Nick .Geese are always impressive and to get three species together is rather good .OK we can learn about each goose but most of all take note of how they all get on together .....Fabulous birds & as you braved the storm a huge star and 👍⭐️for you .Helena

It is interesting how different species of geese flock together. When I have led birding tours in South Korea we have been searching for rare Swan Geese and Lesser White-fronted Geese. Of course, we always find them hanging out with commoner species which over there are White-fronted Goose, Tundra & Taiga Bean Geese. The temperature there is much colder of course!

Hahaha, thank you indeed. I have a lot to learn before that but I do try to improve a little every time I make a video. It isn't always easy to get the footage of the birds I want though.

You got the scientific name of the greater white-fronted goose completely wrong, its correct scientific name is actually Sarriophagus albifrons.

Completely???? You are only changing the genus here and the genus you are using is not that used by IOC which is the taxonomy used by the majority of the world's birders and ornithologists.

@BirdingwithNick, Actually, the genera Anser and Branta are polyphyletic, Branta now contains just a single extant species being the Brant Goose (Branta bernicla), whereas Anser now contains just two extant species being the Greylag Goose (Anser anser (cladistically including the Occidental Goose (Anser anser domesticus))) and the Pink-Footed Goose (Anser brachyrhynchus), whereas many other species are relocated to different genera, which are Nesochen, Cygnopsis, Rufibrenta, Berniculus, Fabophagus, Sarriophagus, Chen, and Melanoleucocephalus, Nesochen contains a single extant species being the Hawaiian Goose (Nesochen sandvicensis), Cygnopsis contains a single extant species being the Swan Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides (cladistically including the Oriental Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides domesticus))), Rufibrenta contains a single extant species being the Red-Breasted Goose (Rufibrenta ruficollis), Berniculus contains a single extant species being the Barnacle Goose (Berniculus leucopsis), Fabophagus contains two extant species: the Taiga Bean Goose (Fabophagus fabilis) and the Tundra Bean Goose (Fabophagus serrirostris), Sarriophagus contains two extant species: the Greater White-Fronted Goose (Sarriophagus albifrons) and the Lesser White-Fronted Goose (Sarriophagus erythropus), Chen contains four extant species: the Bar-Headed Goose (Chen indicus), the Emperor Goose (Chen canagicus), the Ross's Goose (Chen rossii), and the Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens), and Melanoleucocephalus contains two extant species: the Canada Goose (Melanoleucocephalus canadensis) and the Cackling Goose (Melanoleucocephalus hutchinsii), the hawaiian goose and swan goose are more closely related to each other, the red-breasted goose and barnacle goose are both more closely related to the greylag goose and pink-footed goose, and the bean geese (genus Fabophagus), white-fronted geese (genus Sarriophagus), and white geese (genus Chen) are more closely related to the black-and-white-headed geese (genus Melanoleucocephalus), whereas the brant goose is more distantly related from all the other groups.

Scientific debate is usually accommpanied by a reference. Do you have one for this taxonomy that I can find no reference to?
