A new species at the Caravan Hide

I include these two pictures out of interest really. It depicts a pair of Canada Geese that were oddly sat in the middle of the tilled field in front of the caravan this afternoon. Another species photographed at the caravan hide now 22 in total.

One of them has an unusually marked head.

I tried a new approach to in-flight photos today but it wasn't successful unfortunately. I used a smaller lens and positioned the camera on a tripod at the opposite end of the drinking platform. The birds took a while to get used to it and when they did start to arrive I snapped away with a remote shutter release. I was extremely disappointed with the results the only picture worth hanging on to was this one.

Superb, I seen those two Geese in a field in front of my house yesterday, I wondered what they were, (I thought they possibly were Canada Geese), this has just confirmed it.

Charlie. Not sure if I have mentioned this before, but we used to get a huge flock of Canada Geese in the field every year. Probably a flock of sixty or seventy. For the past three or four years we have only seen the occasional one or two, but have no idea why. Lovely birds, and of course they were using Brian White’s pond just over the brow from your hide. Hate to say it, but almost wall to wall sunshine over here! See you next week.
