Medieval barnacle geese that missed the water when they fell from their originating tree died as in this image from a c1287 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme". #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
Gerald of Wales (c1146-c1223) is said to have developed the idea of barnacle geese generation while on an 1185 tour of Ireland. His descriptions imply that the geese are formed from goose barnacles which were really seeds. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
In medieval thought, barnacle geese hatched from trees which grew over water. They would hang off the tree by their beaks until mature when they would fall down into the water as seen in this 13th century image. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
GonzoDidn't find the cattle or little egret and no additions to the life list, but it was a nice time being out in the sunny weather at #Arkemheen!

Niklas StormJag tänkte testa om lusten att illustrera fåglar hade återvänt och tänkte att en sådan där vitkindad gås har jag inte gjort.
Det hade jag visst.
Men nu har jag gjort en till.

När jag illustrerat dessa svenska fåglar (36 arter gjorda!) så är det väldigt roligt att få till en miljö som också känns lite typisk svensk. Denna gång försökte jag mig på vitkindade gäss i Stockholms skärgård :D ganska nöjd faktiskt
