Found a pair of these amongst a flock of Canadas on a wetland area on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border yesterday morning - a lot more timid than the Canadas - any ideas ?

Canada x Greylag, I believe.

I would agree Canalag / Grenada Goose, they generally aren't any more timid than Canadas or Greylags though I am sure yours were.

Pardon my naïve question, but would these hybrids be fertile?
