Unsurprisingly, there wasn't much out there, though a good quantity of Black-headed Gulls were congregating by Hammersmith Bridge. A pair of Gadwalls were a surprise, I barely saw any all winter, and, now, barely any other duck, and there they were!
Then this pair of geese arrived. I'd seen them before, pretty sure, as I was cleaning up the foreshore slightly further south last week. One, I assume the female, a classic Canada Goose, the other one of those Canada x Greylag hybrids which pop up from time to time. I tried to ignore them, but they kept on passing by, and then the hybrid one started honking. I couldn't resist any longer and got my camera out.
"What sweet music we make"
"Bye!"
Those are wonderful photos of the Canada Geese!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Nathalie especially the first one and I don't know why (as I hate litter) but I had to laugh about the packet of crisps, I think it was your clever narrative :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThat goose had tons of character, it helped :)
I hate litter too, which is why I dedicate some of my time volunteering with Thames21 to remove some of it from the Thames, which is slowly improving, though a lot remains to be done.
