Greater white-fronted goose - Anser albifrons Large flocks of these birds usually winter in northeastern Bulgaria near the Black Sea, but for some reason this young bird appeared in a small dam about 15 km from Sofia, about 450 km from their usual wintering area.  I'm glad I was able to photograph it, because so far I had only photographed it in Poland.
