Canada goose is a rare visitor in the Faroes, and a few have bred since 1985 at Gróthúsvatn on Sandoy. 10 Canada geese have been ringed, all on 18 July 1986. There are four recoveries: three birds were controlled on the ringing site four (5 May 1990) and six (24 May 1992, n=2) years later. Two Canada geese ringed in England have been recovered at Gróthúsvatn, Sandoy; one was ringed as a chick on 25 June 1983 N of Harrogate, Yorkshire, the other was ringed as a chick on 5 July 1983 N of Leeds. Both were recovered on 18 July 1986 over 900 km NNW of their ringing site.
