I was dissapointed that I didn't get any shots of the
Bar Headed Goose at Ashleworth Ham yesterday, due to the appalling weather conditions, so I took another trip down there this morning for a second attempt.
As luck would have it he was still there, mingling with a large flock of
Canada (c650) and
Greylag (c40) geese.
That said, the bird was still a good way off from the hide so no luck with a detailed close-up.

He's in there somewhere! |

There he is! |

"What are you looking at chum?" |
As I was leaving I noticed half a dozen odd looking geese waddling to the waters edge. I had a brief moment of knee trembling excitement, imagining that I had discovered some rare migrants before it dawned on me that these were simply hybrids. Yes indeed, here was a little family of
Canlags (apparently the recognised name for Canada X Greylag hybrids).

Canlags! |
Now then, the question is: can I add them to my Year list? Oh, go on then.
