    ...a very striking goose! I love the black bars on his white head. I actually saw one of these at our zoo in Cincy last year!

    Pure and beautiful, the Bar-headed Goose. It shouldn't have been there, anyway, it is there.

    Lovely goose photo! She is quite content isn't she out on a routine venture? What a delight to see this magnificent bird, thanks for sharing Trevor!
    Cheers, Linda

    Hi Kelly.

    This one seems to appear every year alongside the Canada Geese. I suspect it was an escapee originally but now seems part of the fixture and fittings.

    Yes Bob. It is a fine looking bird. Stands out from the crowd.

    Thank you Linda.
    They are not common in the UK outside of collections.
