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

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.
