It is with a flock of Greylag Geese .There habitat is normally in Greenland Canada Alaska and Northeastern tip of Siberia .They are known to fly with flocks of Barnacle Brent and Greenland white fronted geese .I tried to get a photo but as soon as you go near it it scarpers !Has anyone seen one in Shetland before ?
