<p>The Brent Goose is a small, dark sea goose that breeds in the high Arctic and winters in temperate coastal regions. It has a short black bill, a dark head, neck and breast, grey-brown upperparts and a distinctive small white patch on the sides of its neck. There are several recognised subspecies, the most familiar in Britain being the Dark-bellied Brent Goose (Branta bernicla bernicla), which has dark brown-grey upperparts, and the Pale-bellied Brent Goose (Branta bernicla hrota), which has much paler underparts. The Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans), found mainly in the Pacific region, is darker overall and has a more extensive white neck patch. Brent Geese feed mainly on eelgrass, seaweed and coastal vegetation, although they also graze on salt-marsh plants and agricultural grassland when available.<br />
The species has a circumpolar Arctic breeding distribution, nesting on tundra near the coast and on islands across northern Canada, Greenland, Svalbard and northern Russia, depending on the subspecies. During winter, populations migrate south to sheltered estuaries, bays, lagoons and coastal mudflats. In Britain, Dark-bellied Brent Geese arrive in autumn, with important wintering concentrations along the south and east coasts, particularly around Essex, the Thames Estuary and the Solent. Pale-bellied birds are more frequent in Ireland and parts of western Britain. Their movements are closely linked to food availability, especially eelgrass beds, and changes to coastal habitats can have a significant impact on local populations.</p>
