Wow, that Red-breasted Goose is beautiful. It appears that the Grey-lags think so too, they seem to be admiring it! Gorgeous picture Margaret!!!!! TFS!!!!

You're very lucky to have this beautiful Goose nearby, Margaret! A lovely picture with the little jewel in the centre.

A lovely image of this colourful beauty, Mags !!! Thanks for sharing. We had just the one male wood duck in the area for many years. I always hoped a female would turn up but she never did. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the male now for a very long time. Best Wishes.
