Red-breasted Goose - records

2012 one at Penberi Reservoir on 14 June (photographed by Mike Young-Powell).  Presumably an escaped bird, perhaps the same one seen in Montgomeryshire later in the year.

Red-breasted Goose - 1994

Vagrant

This attractive goose is widely kept in captivity, wandering escapes obscuring the occurrence of wild birds. One at Milford Haven on 18 January 1935 (Lockley etal. 1949) is included by Witherby et. al. (1940) in a list of presumed genuine vagrants.
