Another resident of Philip Island Nature Park on Summerland Peninsula is the cape barren goose. Typically seen in pairs while grazing in pastures and grasslands, this bird has mostly grey plumage with brown feathered eyelets accented with red eyes and a green cere covering its short beak. As you approach one of the world’s rarest geese with your camera, you will be surprised by their large size. Males can weigh up to 15 pounds with a 75 inch wingspan.
