Brown Geese - Prescot

I was on my way to work this morning and saw two brown geese on the grass verge on the A58 St Helens Road just after the Wellington pub on the way to Knowsley Safari Park. They were brown with pink/orange bills and I think about the size of a canada goose. My first thought was pink-footed but it's getting late for them to still be here - they could have been something rarer. If anyone is around the area, it'd be great if you could have a look to confirm what they are - I saw them at 8.45.
