oaw - whitehaven geese

These two hang out with the local mute swans. An unusual pair - the white one looks like a domestic and the other one seems to be a greylag. They seem to be about halfway in the Swan hierarchy, but the white one can be a bit aggressive towards pedestrians and passing dogs. (but backs down if you hiss back louder)

If you hiss louder, you must be a bigger goose. That is goose logic.
