Hello to all, a lake near to me allowed me to see a gathering of gooses, among which three different sorts. I begin this small series today.

The cygnoïde Goose (Anser cygnoides) is a goose native of Far East the domestic shape of which is called Goose of Guinea (Anser cygnoides F domestica).The wild birds measure between 81 and 94 cms. The plumage is brownish on the body; the tint(coloring) of the head and the neck are characteristic: the throat(breast), the side of the head and the front of the neck are brown pale while the skullcap and behind of the neck are very dark. The beak is black and legs orange. The domestic birds have a similar plumage but their silhouette is much heavier and they have, besides, a bump on the base of the beak. It is a threatened sort the population of which is understood(included) between 50 000 and 60 000 individuals. The main threats which press on the cygnoïde goose are the hunting, the collection of eggs and the drainage of the wet zones.

Bonjour Gaetan,
c'est un e excellente photo une fois de plus que tu nous présente, j'aime bien son regarsd, elle n'a pas l'air si amicale que ca et ses morsure doivent être féroce à en juger par la taille et la forme de son bec, les couleurs sont superbe et le background bien floué,
bravo pour cet excellent portrait,
amicalement,
Pat

Hi Gaetan,
a change of scene from you today!
This is a great capture of this goose.
I bet it would hurt if it bit you with that jagged beak!
+++ The sharpness is excellent and produces razor-sharp edges.
Great DOF and a good BG that contrasts well to the subject.
I like the composition aswell.
--- Nothing :)
Well done,
Joe
