Shot with my usual XT50 & Tamrom 150-500mm combo.
Matched pair who spent most of the day patrolling around as they clearly plan on laying eggs soon.
Bonus shot of them absolutely losing their shit with a common buzzard, shots like this make me wish for a much longer lens.
Yet another bonus one of them giving me the stink eye
A very interesting goose. We don’t have anything even close looking near me.
They are an invasive species in the UK, and bullies to smaller birds
That’s interesting. I assumed they were migratory, but it appears that’s not so.
I think most in the UK are escapees from duck farms and collections and they just spread from there
Ohhh those are geese in English. I have always considered them dukes but according to wikipédia they are ouettes neither ducks nor geese. They are egyptian ouettes and considered invasive to France. At leass they are beautiful birds.
