Evil Sid Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 well done that man. If i hadn't told you how many young there was it would have been almost impossible to get it. Even with the picture full screen and zoomed it i nearly got it wrong. that was just the ones i got a picture off there were at least half a dozen more floating about the place. Don't know what the deal is with the goose though. Either it thinks it's a swan or the swans do. Been with them all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ok so I think I can see 13 swans and 1 goose now...but maybe that's cos I've had a glass or two tonight I sort of feel sorry for the goose though but hey if it thinks it's a swan and they have accepted it as such then that's good Can geese and swans mate?....look out for little Geens or Swagees next year bless <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted October 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 They seem almost tame and will let you go up to them without any hissing or honking in the case of the goose. the day i took the pictures i was standing at a bench talking to a mate when i felt a tap on my back pocket. turned round to find one of the swans trying to see if i had anything it could eat in it. looked at me expectantly for a few minutes and then when it realised i hadn't got owt it gave a sort of shrug and wandered off again. Considering this is within a mile of town centre it is surprising the amount of wildlife you can see on a good day. best day was when i saw both a mink and a cormorant along with the swans,geese, ducks, moor hens, water hens,crows and rooks, enough magpies to make a new version of hitchcock's classic birds, a family of buzzards and a kingfisher, although that was just a fleeting glance as it zoomed past. No need to watch spring watch when all that is within two minutes walk of where i live.( three minutes if i stop to look for the pike in the pond nearby).
