Glorious Geese - Tundra Bean Geese and Greenland White-fronted Goose


The past couple of weekends have been spent locally with the Tundra Bean Geese still being present on Seeswood Pool Dave's local patch we have spent quite a bit of time there it's not every day you get 4 Tundra Bean Geese just down the road, I have fallen in love with these Geese there so pretty elegant looking, has been a pleasure to get so many lovely views :) Photographing them has been hard work as they do move about from on the water, to the field on the road and the back field, but they did come much closer on a couple of occasions so have managed a few shots :)
Also so had nice views of Egyptian Geese there stunning Geese.








We were also extremely lucky with the Greenland White-fronted Goose at Middleton Lakes at the back of the canal in field, we got there and Dave got straight onto him was quite distant at that point we were getting a few record shots then we walked down a bit then the Geese starting walking up and Dave joked and said now it would bevgood if the Greenland could come as close as the Canada Geese not expecting in a million years it would happen lol but then the Greenland starting walking closer and closer towards us this was just amazing even though a subspecies Greenland White-fronted are very rare Geese so to have one this close and my first ever one was an honour such a lovely Goose and does really stick out love the thick dark barring on his belly :)
