The other Gosling

The other Gosling (Alopochen aegyptiacus)

This is the other one of the two Gosling that are left in that brood... well, it might be, they move around a lot, so it might be the same one ;)

I was using the TCON17 attached to the front of my 70-300mm lens Wednesday, some of the shots look a bit soft to me, so I'll have to find another way of getting distant shots... maybe go back to the Panasonic FZ150 for the reservoirs.

Aaaaw!! I do hope this is the other one still surviving Chris. A shame they're not hanging out together though.

A super picture - very well done mate.
