Greylag Geese...

Wednesday 1st June 2011

Happy Birthday Steffi...

Watery Wednesday returns to the Greylag geese living at the waterworks...


I really love these handsome geese who live in the reservoirs at the Waterworks...


Very strong willed...


We have rather a large gaggle of them living there all year round...


I have linked to the RSPB's page about the Greylag Goose at the top of this post.  But I must disagree with one of their comments...  

They describe this handsome goose in a less than complementary way 

"found around gravel pits, lakes and reservoirs all year round in southern Britain tend to be semi-tame and uninspiring"  

which I find rather unfair as I think that it is cool that these geese choose not to chase everything they meet... and enjoy being fed by children and visitors to the park...
