the second photo I have seen today of this wonderful Goose. I had never heard of them before, but they sure are pretty and you captured this one beautifully!

Yes, I saw them too at Kew but your photo is much much better than mine http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2622009

Not sure why this is not in my bird book, I have seen them in UK on farmland near the Thames years ago, perhaps they had escaped from a collection. This is an excellent photo.
