Your Goose Is Cooked!! (PiPs)

The goose has strayed a little too close to the Swan's cygnets and the chase went on for some distance before the goose escaped or the swan gave up (RSPB Udale Bay).

For the less serious of us I have added a second, very tenuous link. It is the chase music from the Benny Hill Show

Brilliant timing. A lovely shot. Faved for sure. New music to me. Yes, liking it. And, classic Benny Hill :-))) I do like the outfits in the video.......actually, 'wot' I meant to say was that I like one outfit in particular :-))) Of course, I am now watching more of the Benny Hill videos on YouTube :-))) Cheers very much for posting to 'Sight and Sound', Carol.

This is amazing to see a goose and a swan together. Great action shots, Carol. Nothing quite as dangerous as a mum guarding her young is there?

I chose the Benny Hill video as I've always loved him and enjoyed that music. Fun combo!

Ecobird ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Thank you very much Karen. Really appreciated. You are right, - it was good to see how fiercely protective she was, but the chase was so funny to watch. Pleased you liked the Benny Hill music, - I have it stuck in my head now and can't stop humming it.

Swans have to be the nastiest animals on the face of the earth, and I loathe them! But I love Canada Geese, and so I'm rooting for him! Great shot, and thanks for the background on the encounter! (At least this time I'm not the one being chased!!) Hope you are well.
