Common residents introduced of 190,000 birds in Southern & Eastern Britain.
Originally from North America but were brought over in the 1860s.
Adults have a black head and neck with a white "chinstrap" & brow body.
Juveniles have a duller face pattern than the Adults.
The honk refers to the call of the male Canada goose, whilst the hrink call refers to the female goose.
The calls are similar but the hrink is shorter and higher pitched than the honk of males.
They fly in a typical Goose form.
