NORTH NORFOLK
SOME BIRDS ARE MORE THAN birds. Glitches in the thread of time, they’re portals to past chapters of our lives. One with such a hold on me is a vagrant Arctic goose.
I first saw a Todd’s Canada goose in Norfolk, back in 2016. Unlike Britain’sthuggery around town ponds – Todd’s Canada geese are true wild birds. A mere handful of these tundra wanderers reach our shores each winter, carried in migrant flocks of pink-footed geese from Greenland.
