Mount Pond: Goosle Double Team

Taking Boxing Day more literally in large...

Gawd, the Goosles were on fighting form today! They greeted us warmly when we arrived at Mount Pond (after finding them missing from Eagle Pond, naughty Goosles...), Mrs. quickly grew a Fu Manchu moustache, and things quickly became even more dramatic when the Goosles started harassing a pair of greylag geese rather persistently (e.g. funny series of shots right from here). Even Mrs. got in on the action (solo, several times, and with Mr.)! The sun was low and the shadows long, so the whole thing seemed rather like an anatid version of the standoff scene from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly".
After each chase, Mr. would return to Mrs. and perform a Triumph Ceremony (side on version), although several of them were cut short by subsequent greylag encroachments.
I had the macro lens mounted, so got some nice close-up shots of both Mr. (from the side and from above) and Mrs. (and both) too.

My other shots can be found on Flickr (right from here), with some of my favourites as extras...
