Barnacle Goose (Branta leucopsis)

Scotland is crucial to the survival of this species. Barnacle Geese breed in Greenland, Svalbard & Novaya Zemlya. Greenland birds winter in the Hebrides (mainly Islay) and Ireland whilst almost the entire Svalbard population winters on the Solway (Novaya Zemlya birds winter in the Netherlands).
