The brent goose is a small, dark goose - of similar size to a mallard. It has a black head and neck and grey-brown back, with either a pale or dark belly, depending on the race. Adults have a small white neck patch. It flies in loose flocks along the coast, rather than in tight skeins like grey geese. It is an Amber List species because of the important numbers found at just a few sites.The brant, or brent goose, 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 Dark-bellied Brent Geese winter primarily in England, occuring in substantial numbers on sites from the Humber Estuary southwards on the East coast, along the South coast, and with smaller numbers being recorded intermitently at sites in Wales and Northwest England. Birds from the Svalbard population of Light-bellied Brent winter principally at Lindisfarne where they number in the thousands, but are also recorded annually at other sites in Northest England and Southeast Scotland in smaller numbers. Records of Light-bellied Brent further afield in the East of Britain are generally taken to be from this population. The majority of Light-bellied Brent from the Canadian population visiting the UK during the winter are to be found in Northern Ireland especially on Strangford Lough which alone hosts about 80% of the UK total. Smaller numbers of Canadian birds are also to be found on the North and West coasts of Scotland with occasional records from Western and Southern generally being taken to be from this population.
