"Cheer Up Sleepy Nene..."

"Cheer Up Sleepy Nene..." (Branta sandvicensis)

"Oh what can it May-nay... To a - Day-dreem bee-leave-aah..."

?

Only works if you pronounce the name wrong!

Hawaiian Goose a.k.a. "Nene".

"It's not pronounced "Neen" - it's pronounced "Nay-Nay".

Ah... that's ruined my 'Monkees Spoof' song then!

Love this photo... this Goose was wide awake... that is until I started telling him about how good my scope was... and the clarity of view through my 'bins' - for some reason, the goose nodded off... wonder why?

:D Always get worried if you're on the same wavelength as me Mick... not always a good thing! :king:

Glad you like the shot by the way - appreciate the comment.

? To much see-see?

What the he...
Oh aye... Coca Cola... :king: very true...

You could have said "Lay off the coke" and that would have painted me in a bad light... and I'd rather be painted under a 100w bulb rather than a 40w - so you've done me a favour really! :t:

Right - I'd better go and sleep off the cafeine and sugar... my next lecture will be "Shadows - wither go they at night?" - more nonsense to come!

Regards!

Neil.
