Thank you to Peter Pearson for your info about these geese, and for your lovely picture which is exactly what we saw. I am not sure whether I should be pleased that there are lots of them in East Anglia and Essex, or whether to say 'Boo' as they are yet another alien! Will they take over like the Canada Geese are?
And, with Tuesday seeming to be summer, it would have been even better if we had done our trip then! However, it did not last long and we are back to grey moist weather, and chilly, so we have to wait a bit longer for some good sunshine.
