Greylag Gosling

More soft and downy in large.
Back blip


I had a very jolly time walking around Christ Church Meadow (by the Cherwell and Isis); there were ducklings of various sizes, and I found the greylag goslings that I'd photographed previously (the four with the three parents, mentioned here).
Some people were feeding them (bread, argh), but they were sufficiently distracted that I even managed to stroke them!

I've uploaded a variety of other shots to Flickr (right from here).
