[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This 63-73 cm long species breeds widely in Africa except deserts and dense forests, and is locally abundant. They are found mostly in the Nile Valley and south of the Sahara. It is also introduced elsewhere; Great Britain and the Netherlands have self-sustaining feral populations, the former dating back to the 18th century, though only formally added to the British list in 1971. In Britain, it is found mainly in East Anglia, in parkland with lakes.

Hi my dear friend Annick,

A beautiful Goose which I have not seen before. Thank you. I am learning with your captures as usual. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Best regards,

Bayram

The colors of this goose are so lovely... and it tones so nicely with its surroundings. Was there a particular reason for the f/14 aperture? I never know how to set the aperture on such a long zoom. It never seems to make much difference unless I'm pretty far from the subject.

Annick,

A well composed pic that shows a lot of detail of the subject. The POV, Comp, Sharpness, DOF and Lighting all make a great pic.

Hi Annick

Good sharp shot of this goose. Could have done with a bit more space on the right side I think.

Chris

Hallo Annick,

deze Nijlgans staat er goed op in zijn natuurlijke omgeving in Afrika.des te gekker is het dat ze bij ons ook al met duizenden broeden en 17% populatie groei per jaar.
Mooi van kleur met veel details en vlijmscherp.

groet Gert

Hello Annick

Well done
