    Hey dunlak, do you have other photos of these birds? Between their brown look and large, all-orange bills, they look much more like greylag geese to me. Look at the other two photos of pinkfeet on JD for comparison. Posted 7 years ago

      Hi again. I've now seen pink-footed geese myself so I feel more confident when I say that the birds on your photo definitely aren't, but rather greylags. I've gone ahead and changed the ID, I hope you don't mind. Posted 5 years ago
