We were out hunting deer yesterday when we came across a field which held about 5,000 Canadas. While we stood on the road watching them, I notice these five(5th one off camera) different geese on the edge of the flock. We`ve never seen them around here before. Are they Graylags? Anybody?

They don't look at all like greylags.Greylags are similar to specks without the belly bars.Google them up for a pic. Gunner

Yeah, not greylags. They appear to be either canadas lacking pigment, or a mix somewhere down the line with a tamey farm goose. I've seen one or two in our fields, see if I can dig up some pictures of them.

They look like Pemberton hybrids to me.

The ugly one's always get pushed off to the outside....


Looks like some mixed genetics.

I was shooting on Uist in the Outer Hebrides in September and it was heaving with Greylags. Lots of guys gunning for them though we were after snipe and sea trout. This piece is representative of what the shooting can be like there: http://www.shootinggazette.co.uk/shootfeatures/169484/Greylag_goose_shooting.html
