The brant or brent goose (Branta bernicla) is a small goose of the genus Branta. There are three subspecies, all of which winter along temperate-zone sea-coasts and breed on the high-Arctic tundra. The Brent oilfield was named after the species. [3]

These small geese are characteristic of coastal areas in summer and winter; most birdwatchers know them from seeing their wintering flocks along both of our coasts. Traveling between their summer and winter outposts, they may fly at altitudes of several thousand feet as they cross great expanses of land or open ocean.

The Canada goose (Branta canadensis), sometimes called Canadian goose, [2][3] is a large species of goose with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. It is native to the arctic and temperate regions of North America, and it is occasionally found during migration across the Atlantic in northern Europe.

Brant spend most of the year in flocks. They forage by grazing or by swimming into shallow water and tipping forward to reach aquatic vegetation. Flocks form tight swarm-like groupings, less linear than skeins of Canada Geese. They give distinctive, grating calls that are often the first clue to their presence.
