Well-known member
I was overlooking the lake through binoculars and nearly by past a pair of birds I took for Magpie Geese and when I checked field guide I wasn't able to find, hope I haven't overlooked something. As you will see they nearly half the size of Magpie and doesn't have the whit feathers on shoulders of wings and top of the beak and forehead different thats the best I can explain it, anyway would somebody have any ideas on this. Sorry about the quality of photos but at 40-50 meters thats the best I can come up with
Thanks George
PS there is only one bird in foreground showing in the picture but there was 2
