Alone and palely loitering

Alone and palely loitering
This goose, probably a domestic greylag, seemed very out of place on this windy shore. The strong southeasterly wind ruffled his feathers, and he was very reluctant to fly off. We could see him from 250 metres away, and even when I got up close he didn't move away. We continued along the beach for about another mile and then walked back, by which time he had decided he'd had enough and had flown away safely I hope.

Nicely captured Amelia. If I were him/her I would be keeping well out of the way until after Christmas!

Yes, a little bit out of place here but a lovely photographic pose :-) Well captured, Amelia. A perfect musical match to an all-time classic by Acker Bilk :-) One of the most instantly recognisable instrumentals I should think :-)

Never seen a goose on the beach! But then geese in Germany tend to end up in the oven at Christmas;-)

A well taken portrait in what is indeed an unlikely setting. A great musical match too.
