Andysnap Messages 16,294 Name Andy Grant Edit My Images Yes 18 Mar 2011 #1 I think this is a greylag but I'd be happy to be told otherwise. Cheers Andy

OP Andysnap Messages 16,294 Name Andy Grant Edit My Images Yes 20 Mar 2011 #3 Thanks Dougie, that was what was confusing me as well. There is a trace of orange in there but I thought it was all over. Andy

lammie Messages 3,156 Edit My Images Yes 4 Apr 2011 #9 Doesn't look like a bean goose to me. Colours look too light around head and neck and beak looks wrong.

C Cuddy Messages 4,410 Edit My Images No 4 Apr 2011 #10 Looks like a Swan goose, or a cross between that and a Greylag..
OP Andysnap Messages 16,294 Name Andy Grant Edit My Images Yes 4 Apr 2011 #11 Blimey now then, a swan goose you say Brian, not a bean goose you say lammie. Now I'm confused. Andy

J Jarbie Messages 12 Name John Edit My Images Yes 6 Apr 2011 #17 Having looked at this again, I now revise my opinion to it being a hybrid. That bill reminds me of something from a farmyard.
