OH BARNACLES SAID BRENT ! Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Rather a 'smack in the beak' to name an 'oil field' after them considering just how much damage is done by oil fields to the marine environment ! The Brent Geese or Brant as they are also called is a Winter resident to our shores and can often be seen flying in loose flocks along the coast, rather than in tight skeins like grey geese... They are herbivores, and eat seaweeds, particularly 'eel grass' ~ so with our planting and tending to 'eel grass' communities within Wales, maybe we can expect more of this Birds of Conservation Concern 'Amber listed' species ~ along with the seahorses which we very much need to protect and preserve.
