| | | Can someone put a name to this goose?
Seen on the River Lea. Is it an immature of a breed I should know, or a famous visitor?
I'm surprised it put up with the herd of 50 swans nearby.  |

Looks like a hybrid between a greylag goose and canada goose  |

They've usually got a squeaking call as well and are rather vibrant looking |

Thankyou all. I didn't think of that. Round here the canadas and greylags stay fairly separate, so it looks like they sometimes get a bit closer. | | |
