these geese are adorable
when I go to slimbridge, they are one of the few that will eat out of your hand...and very gently at that
I went there last week and theyve got some Nene babies so very cute ^^

Yeah I think they do. Canadian geese do - i have a great shot up close where you can see it hissing and bearing its teeth but you really need to see it big to see the details

The only wildlife forum I belong to is WAB [link] but I haven't been there for quite some time. I drop in every now & then to what's happening

Close enough to capture the flash in his eye! Not bad, and the light doesn't look so harsh on my monitor, and I think mines a little too bright.

Love this shot. It's a different framing then I would have thought of. Love the water drops as well.

Again I am not a friend of the harsh light. BUT this is an exceptionally unique piece and I love it regardless.
