Two pictures in my memory to do with mist. Crossing Portsmouth Harbour on the ferry with 3 tall ships coming down the harbour (under power not sail) through the morning mist, and passing Arundel on the train with the fields covered in mist with the town rising up the hill to the Castle and the Chapel.
Any idea what sort they are Rob? We get Brent geese a lot round here and they drive the farmers mad. Went to a farm where they graze and the grass was short and covered in goose droppings as well as the ground being puddled by them.
Brent geese are rare, so any control has to be carried out with a view to the number in the world not the hundreds infesting a farm.
They're pretty much all Canada's in that shot - I was supposed to be taking a picture of the two swans in the middle of the melee, but they'd moved out of shot by the time the shutter went.
We do have a few rarities and the valley is a major wintering site for Teal and Wigeon as well as Berwick's swans. These fields are all National Nature Reserve SSSI land.
Sounds interesting. We have a nature reserve where there are a lot of birds, particularly migrating. I prefer the hilly region where I live and leave the flat bits to others and the birds.
Oops. Hope you managed to separate them before he got too upset and unmanageable. Glad we only have to deal with trees, but you wouldn't believe the antics them manage to get up to, especially during felling.
