Ahh a Brrrlag goose - are these Siberian ssp. greylag - bill looks pinkish rather than orange?

Looks a tad over-sharpened with those halos!

You poor thing - come to Scotland :biggrin: I have never really noticed these despite the fact they are common - they are actually very beautiful.

Just goes to show you certainly don't need decent weather for decent shots.
Love it, especially the falling rain towards the top of the frame (and the bird obviously :biggrin: )
