This is another shot I made at the zoo in Munich.
The goose was sitting next to a bench in the grass and was watching the people walking around. She didn't move when I got closer and so I had a lot of time to take some photos.

Greyleg goose - Anser anser

The Greylag is a large goose, 74–84 cm (29–33 in) long with a 149–168 cm (59–66 in) wingspan and a body weight of 2.3–5.5 kg (5–12 lbs). It has a large head and almost triangular bill. The legs are pink, and the bird is easily identified in flight by the pale leading edge to the wing. It has a loud cackling call, kiYAAA-ga-ga, like the domestic goose.

This species is found throughout the Old World, apparently breeding where suitable localities are to be found in many European countries, although it no longer breeds in southwestern Europe. Eastwards it extends across Asia to China.

The geese are migratory, moving south or west in winter, but Scottish breeders, some other populations in northwestern Europe, and feral flocks are largely resident.

Hola Tatjana, un excelente retrato, con muy buena luz y color. El fondo perfecto para resaltar el motivo. Un saludo

Hi Tatjana,
a nice portrait with fine colours.
The details are sharp and the DOF is good,
but I think it's a bit tight cropped.
Well done.
