Honk! Pt.2, The Bit I Forgot From Pt.1 [Also Most Goose Spp.]


After leaving the Otter, I made a small stop-off on my way home. Spare coffee to drink and so on.

I just happened to drink said coffee while being freeze-dried on Powderham Bend bridge, up on tiptoes [another architect who needs a clip 'round the ear...] scoping the oh-so-helpful goose flock.

Why?

"What'll we do tonight, Brain?"

Without ULTRASUPERZOOM mode;

Five flavours of geese!

Can you see them all?

Course you can't! But they were there, the Pink-footed Goose joined by 480+ Canada, 165+ Brent, a Snow, and a Bar-headed.
[I never said they were 'good' ones! :) ]

The more clear-thinking [or perhaps cynical.. Ahem] may be wondering about that first shot. Yes, they did indeed fly a bit closer at one point, and as a lovely wonderful dog-walker about-turned they didn't flush before I could get in position to take a pic or two.


Getting the birds to all behave
was another matter


Photobomb!

Behind the Pinkie, would that be a ['the'] juvenile Pale-bellied Brent Goose?
[You will see more of this wee darlin' in a not too distant post, btw]


Coming up; another day and time for some more fun. Oh yes.


Be Seeing You...
