A lot of geese have similar serrations in their beaks. Your shot illustrates them well. I think the bird might have a slightly mixed ancestry by looks of it.

Better not stick your hands in that mouth..
Agree with Paul it looks like mixed blood.

Impressive beak :eek: I think it's lacking a bit in critical sharpness on the head, or mayby just anothe rroudn of USM!

Hi Mark,

Look at those TEETH! Next time I'm out feeding the ducks and geese I'll think twice about letting them feeding out of my hand! :eek:

Nice portrait! I do agree it's a little soft!
