My bird watching friends got very excited when we found these two birds in the Netherlands recently.
The landscape shot shows the distance of the flock of birds, there is only one Red Breasted Goose in this flock shown cropped.

The second is a Spectacled Eider the rarest ever recorded vagrant bird taken at around 150m bobbing in the ocean amongst common riders.

Nice spot with the Spectacled Eider that is a lifer many won't get.
