Bean Goose - 1894

Anser segetum

An occasional winter visitor. All the wild Geese, with the exception of the Brent Goose, are rare in Pembrokeshire at the present day. During our eight years residence in the county the Bean Goose alone occurred to ourselves. In the severe winter of 1SS0 a flock of seven or eight frequented the neighbourhood of Stone Hall, and once or twice were seen by us flying low over our grounds.
