| | | Goose help please
Hi folks, we went to Chasewater today. These geese were there, what are they?
Is this a hybrid maybe Canada/greylag? 
We thought this was a White fronted goose, but now I`m not sure  
Thanks for taking the time to look

Inevitably some birds do gain a free existence like the various domestic variants of Greylag, Mallard + Muscovy Duck. |
