Greylag Geese
« on: September 06, 2008, 20:57:31 »
Not good pic. took it in heavy rain.  Fields are flooding round us with all the heavy rain we have had this past 24 hrs.  These Greylag Geese seem quite happy.

The graylag in the second picture almost looks like a carving with his blunt beak.
You sure you didn't take a pix of a decoy?!

Neat picture.
