Let's Twist Again (Anser brachyrhynchus)

We had a bit a frustrating day the other week. Decided to go to Balgavies reserve near Forfar. When we arrived it was to find the car park closed, with no other information. We went to the viewpoint car park just along the road and sat there with a cup of coffee. Then moved on driving round a few more places we like getting back to Forfar on a different road.

Instead of taking the direct route home decided on a trip round the foothills of the Angus Glens. Shortly after crossing the dual carriageway, we found a field full of Pink-footed Goose - this was one of them. Love the way that neck is twisted!!

Lovely capture of this goose but please explain me your recent comment (... "on a dark winter evening."). Hope you have not been replaced by a bot.

I like the ”expression” on its face ;). Sort of “Hmm! I’m not sure about that!”. Great SF Delia, and a very nice photo to boot.
