Rare lesser white-fronted goose, other water birds

This February 2017 video about a frozen ditch near Aarlanderveen in the Netherlands shows a mallard couple in front.

Behind them is a white-fronted geese flock. One individual in that flock is different: a rare lesser white-fronted goose.

Also, a grey lag goose–domestic goose hybrid crosses the ditch.

Luuk Punt made this video.
