    Two of them had a little fight and I got some action shots too.

    A group of barnacle geese in the water, one is flapping its wings and streching their neck trying to get away from a goose behind who is reaching for them, water is spalshing but the two geese in the foreground look unfazed.

    Bird wings look so delicate and fragile to me, but they do seem to stand up to some rought handling. Great photo :)

    @arcturus Thank you so much! 🥰
    Yes, I do think that at least the feathers are a bit fragile but the good thing is that they can grow new ones if they loose some.

    @kolombiken great photo, I haven’t seen Barnacle’s go for each other before but it also looks like you saw a lot more than I have seen in one place.

    It’s Becky’s favourite goose, she likes the monochrome colour and the shorter beaks.

    @stubacon This was a large group for the location. About 80 of them.

    But they can easily be found in groups of several thousands not that far from here. Especially during spring and autumn. So maybe I shouldn’t have written
    “big group”. 🙈

    Anyway, that’s a good favourite goose! And I agree, they do look good in their monochrome colors.
