The White-fronted Geese of England and Wales

Abstract

Early in 1956 a census of the Whitefront population of England and Wales was organised, and its results used as the basis for a report on the status of the Russian-breeding race Anser a. albifrons in this country during the last ten years. This paper summarises its principal findings and offers some comments on them, with particular reference to their relation to the aims of wildfowl conservation policies and to the practical application of such policies.
