An occasional visitor

Although some Siberian Barnacle Geese winter regularly in south east England, those seen in Hertfordshire are considered to be feral birds. They have been seen mostly singularly at Fairlands Valley Lakes, Norton Green Tip and the Town Centre gardens. Two birds were seen at Fairlands Valley Lakes on 12 September 2018 and, the Town Centre Gardens on 19 September 2018 and, up to two birds were seen at Fairlands Valley Lakes from 24 October to 5 December 2022.

A long staying bird was seen at Fairlands Valley Lakes between 15 June and 28 September 1999.
