Geese  by beryl

Geese

There are many water birds on the mere at Ellesmere Shropshire . As we stroll along the mere these geese will often chase our dog Alfie (a lackie ) Fortunately Alfie is not interested in chasing the geese & will walk away completely ignoring them !! At the moment the Herons are nesting in the tall trees on the mere , but I only viewed the nests with binoculars from the viewing spot .
the feather detail is stunning viewed up close - i can even spot the band around the leg. the ripples in the water are a bonus ~
