Having spent a little time in the garden today (in between cleaning bursts!) we decided to get out to Par for a hour... I'll be glad when the Abbot gets his camera back. He seems lost without it. I offered mine again, but it was politely refused. Deafness is like solitary confinement and the camera for Trevor seems to have been a release from that, inducing communication with the outside world through the pictures he puts up on his blogs.

An unusual visitor at Par Pool - Hybrid/Domestic Goose I think... Seems to like hanging out with the Canada Geese and they don't seem to mind. When it called out I was amazed.... It was a lovely sound (again, something that the Abbot missed completely); and such a pretty bird...

The goose looks like a bar headed goose crossed with whatever.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bar headed escapee. Maybe I should read your narative before I comment.

Interesting goose the bar head =, Migrates over the himalayas, one of, if not the highest flying bird. Sorry about commenting three times.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam. I spoke to a lady who was there and said she had seen it last year and that it was a domestic goose, so I thought no more of it. Next morning I looked at the Field Guide and decided it must be an escapee from a collection. I had that confirmed by two people I consider experts, one of which lives in Par and saw one/it last year. It would be nice to be able to tick it on the life list though eh! :-)
