Brande and Brant Geese Part Two

 

From Clemenceau beach

To White Rochers

Of Port de Plaisance

Marina of Jard sur Mer

Is one hour of promenade

Le long de la plage...

Et tout l'hiver

You can see, par chance

Hundreds and centaines

Of Bernaches Cravants

Which are in English

Brants, or Brents, or Brant Geese

These oiseaux migrateurs

Spend summers

In tundra arctique

With eggs, then chicks

And then un tour magique

A clever trick...

Bernaches cravants; can you see their cravates? 

Click on photo to see the Brants at St Vincent sur Jard

They travel south

To feed on Atlantique sea-weed...

And then

In spring

Go north again.
