Hi there birdfriends
Was lucky enough to have this fellow fly over my head yesterday near the Humber River...
Hmm...
All the best!

thanks, kindly bird photomen, I was lucky is all, that I was taking pictures of a fly-by mute swan moments earlier, hence the proper exposure...
Nice bird!

also, I don't know much about this goose but hear he's a slight rarity in these parts? The crinkles on his/her neck are most intriguing, that much I do know...
