Re: Could this be a snow goose?

This probably isn't something to get excited about, although it is definetely nice to have one living near you. When we get vagrant geese in Britain they tend to arrive in huge flocks of wild geese e.g barnacle, brent, pink footed etc. It is very unlikely that a vagrant goose would turn up on its own and if it was wild it probably wouldn't be with mallards or tame geese. I don't really know anything about wing clipping, but those wings don't look like they have been clipped, however this is probably just someones carelessness. It is probably an escape from a collection, but definetely still nice to have around.

P.S very nice shots!
