Impostors?/ Camera Critters

White-fronted geese or impostors?

These could be white-fronted geese,  winter visitors from Greenland ... but more likely they are domestic escapees.

Snacking

As you can see, someone has left a few treats here.

    I've heard about getting your "ducks in line" but didn't know it could apply to geese too!

    Saw the photo and thought I know these, pink footed geese, but I was wrong. Nicely caught!

    Beautiful birds. The first picture almost looks like a painting. It would be very pretty framed and in someone's country kitchen.

    These are a refreshing change form the usual ones we see! Are the brown billed ones juveniles, or females, do you think?

    I was just reading about White fronted Geese and if you ever see any well you really didn't so the article said. So I suppose these are farmer's geese living the wild life now. Nice shots EG. MB

    No idea what they are, but they are beautiful photos. I especially like how the three geese are lined up in the first one!
