A handsome little goose. Known to the authorities judging by the ankle bracelet.

Think a will need to head to caerlaverock later in the year for a barnacle goose! Nice shot...did you investigate its rings?

I think this is the only place I have seen them. This photo was from earlier in the year but still some about last week. I haven't asked about the rings.

Nice, Snappy.... Feels a while since I've seen one... Mind you... Feels a while since I've seen anything not in the garden!

Thanks PB, sounds like you need a trip out...

Great shot Snappy, yet to see my first one. They do get down here now and again.
