Breeding range expansion of barnacle and brent geese in the Russian European North
In 1990 a large settlement of Barnacle Geese, Branta leucopsis, was discovered in salt marsh grassland near Shoina (67°50?N. 44°10?E), on the Kanin Peninsula, Russia. The settlement consisted of approximately 350 breeding pairs in 1990 and 400–450 pairs in 1991. Three nests of the Brent Goose (B.b.b...
