Thanks, it did show quite nicely a few times (though mostly with shadows of branches over it).

There was a Barnacle x Greylag pair in that area of Fife previously that produced offspring. This pic of the family is from 2017, but there may well be further offspring since then (and/or some variation in plumage of hybrids).

It is a good habit to get into - don't just 'see', but 'watch' (and listen). How a bird moves, where it is, what it is doing etc can all help towards arriving at an ID....and being aware of the birds 'body language' can mean the difference between good views and the bird vanishing into distance.
