Day 14.074: Birds - skittish edition

After a rather good winter of birdwatching, spring has got off to a slow start - and there aren't even leaves on the trees to blame yet. On our beach-and-park walk we saw - some disorganized geese:

I actually saw three or four of these between the two walks at the weekend, but they all seemed very camera-shy - disappearing around the back of the tree or flying away as soon I pointed a lens in their direction. This was the best of a disappointing bunch.
