After my recent post with images of the White-fronted Geese at Yotvata, I was contacted by Martin Garner, who raised the idea that these birds belong to a Pacific or East Asian population. He sent me some interesting reading material, I sent him large images, and after a good ID discussion Martin produced this fascinating blog post. Read it - it is very mind opening. And for myself - I keep learning every day. Cheers Martin!
