The arctic goose that visits Britain in winter is primarily the Barnacle Goose. These geese migrate from their breeding grounds in the Arctic, particularly Greenland and Svalbard, to spend the winter months in milder climates, including parts of Scotland and Ireland. They are known for their distinctive black and white plumage and often gather in large flocks in coastal areas and estuaries during this time.

What habitat does a Greenland white fronted goose live in?
The Greenland white-fronted goose primarily inhabits Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, particularly in Greenland and parts of Iceland during the breeding season. In winter, it migrates to more temperate areas, such as the British Isles and parts of Ireland, where it typically resides in coastal marshes, grasslands, and agricultural fields. These geese prefer habitats that provide abundant food sources, such as grasses and other vegetation.
Why do the snow goose migrate?
First the plural of "Goose" is "Geese". Geese "migrate", that is they fly North into the Arctic regions in Spring and South to temperate regions in Autumn. They do this because during the Arctic Summer, the Arctic wetlands are warmed by 24 hours of sunlight, the plants grow and the wetlands team with life that is food for the geese (also there are few predators). They therefore bread in the Arctic and raise their young over these summer months. Come Autumn/Winter the ground freezes over and snow covers the vegetation and food ceases to be available for the Geese. They therefore fly South for the Winter to more temperate climate regions where food is available.
