Goose ID

Hi guys,

 

I saw this goose at the London Wetland Centre a few days ago and I'm slightly confused as to what it may be.  It's obviously not any of our native species so I was wondering if it is a hybrid Greylag/Domestic goose. It was quite 'bulky' and about the same as a greylag and bigger than the Canada geese that where luckily nearby for comparison.

Thanks

Matt

Hi Matt- certainly looks like a hybrid to me- has similar plumage to Canada Goose but head and bill look like Greylag.
