The Barnacle goose, Latin name Branta leucopsis, is a member of the swan, duck and goose family, Anatidae. It is a very social bird which calls almost constantly throughout the year. The sight of the huge flocks gathering on their wintering ground is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles that can be seen in Britain. In flight it is strong and powerful and forms large flocks and long lines with a noisy chorus of barking or yapping sounds.
