Barnacle Geese

Barnacle Geese spend the winter in Scotland, northern England and Ireland.  They breed on islands in the north Atlantic, such as those around Greenland and Svarlbard.  Unusually, they nest on cliffs and, after hatching, the chicks have to leap to the ground.  In medieval times, before their breeding habitat became known, it was widely believed that barnacle geese developed from barnacles living on diftwood.
