These geese are part of a sizeable flock of Pink-footed Geese (Anser brachyrhynchus). As we were watching them a passing farmer stopped and we had a discussion about how unwelcome they are to farmers. They graze on and thus destroy crops, and their droppings are a nuisance on the land. They were still in the same field when we got back three hours later.
