Close Up Barnacle Geese with Chicks

Svalbard, Norway

Recommended charity: Svalbard’s Environmental Protection Fund

Notes:

	A close up recording of a large flock of barnacle geese with their chicks feeding on the tundra of Svalbard in the high Arctic. The flock is feeding near a small pond and are interacting with a red throated diver who you can hear calling intermittently through the recording. At this point both parents and chicks are both unable to fly as the parents are moulting and the chicks are fledging, so they are very vulnerable.
