Sadly not , perhaps they are still enroute

Have never seen one Snappy, though they are up the river Tamar at some place. Great one.

A good photo of what is for me an alien goose. Like their Canada cousins they've ingratiated themselves upon us but not yet with the same level of success.

Lovely detailed shot, Snappy
