[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Lesser White-fronted Goose (Anser erythropus) Dwerggans is in the wintertime at the island Schiermonnikoog Netherlands. This winter accompagnied by four young ones hybrides Lesser White-fronted Goose/Barnacle Goose. The rings on the legs indicate that it might be a Scandinavian reintroduction project, but their emailadress doesn't work anymore.

Info of the project on www.cr-birding.be:
Metal ring (on left leg) and black ring (on right leg) for males.

(On the picture it's just the opposite metal ring on right leg, black ring on left leg, maybe a female???)

Their project was called: The French project ; Bo Fagerstorm, Tina Johansson, Dalgatan 10, S-824 42 Hudiksvall, Sweden.
