So not an Auk sp. at all??

Looking at that big tummy makes me wonder about a goose sp... but what's it doing in that habitat? Could just be a pond on a windy day, of course... (and really, Bobbie... geese do migrate, so who knows where you might see them!)

Ok. I am going to make a "derriere" of myself and say Barnacle Goose. (Tho it could be a Canada Goose... or Brent Goose... or indeed any black and white goose.) The fact that it is dabbling and not diving is my only clue, apart from the colour... and the fact that the front could just as easily be the back... had to figure which way the feathers were going and am not sure I have that.

There.

Still... fun!

I have decided (therefore it must be true!) that it is not a diver...
