Greylag Goose ( Anser anser )

We are heading down to Staffordshire for the annual meeting of the Solace narrowb0at syndicate.  We got an early start had a break at Charnock Richard Services.  Then we arrived at Wolesly Bridge in time for a late lunch at the garden centre.  After having a look round the garden centre we moved nextdoor to the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust reserve and HQ.

Of the birds I took shots of I liked this portrait of a Greylag goose best.  Unlike the Canada Geese I rarely get close to Greylag.  We had a look round at the River Trent where we got such wonderful shots of Kingfisher in spring.  Sadly not being the breeding season there were no signs.  Next we headed off to Rugeley and our hotel.

Finally up to date with 4 or 5 backblips now up.
