Canada gosling

Today on the canal towpath, feeding it's little face with dandelions.

I've had a couple of run-ins with an extremely territorial Canada Goose recently – it seems to think that it's entitled to the spot where I've taken a lot of photos over the years. So while I'm sure this little one is cute and all, I'm still nursing a bit of a grudge.

It's probably nursing a grudge against you too. Rolleyes

Did it look like this. (This was it's attitude to a dog, and later a pram.) This is the mother or father of the gosling. They all look alike to me. Confused Big Grin

Same open, hissing mouth, but mine had its neck snaked down low and ready to strike. That's also about how it looked the five (5) times that it flew at me, except that it was also beating its wings at the time.

Yours seems positively bucolic by comparison.

I think it was warning you off then. Or it preferred a Canon. Tongue
