Légende

The Red-breasted Goose at the Zoological Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, 1858. 'The red-breasted Goose (Bernicla ruficollis) is a native of Northern Asia...[and] is the rarest of the British water-fowl...the exhibition of a living specimen is therefore an event of great interest to ornithologists...It is known in Britain only as a rare visitant, when driven by tempestuous weather out of the usual course of its migrations...The bird now living at the Zoological Gardens was taken in a decoy near Amsterdam...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
