Shelduck drives away brent geese, video

This 4 June 2016 video is from the Karrevelden nature reserve in Zeeland province in the Netherlands.

It features an avocet and a northern lapwing. And two brent geese. Until a shelduck arrives, driving the geese away.

Maybe the shelduck thought: ‘By now, you should have gone back to your Arctic brent geese nesting grounds!’
