there and find the Bean, the Pin --0022154015924b461d04b0011699 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, Unfortunately by the time I arrived the sun was directly behind the goose in question (obviously now a Pink-footed), and the light was poor, so I almost hesitated to post any pics at all - but I suppose these are marginally adequate for record shots, and certainly not as good as Tuma or Rick's - anyway, if anyone wants to look, they're here - http://richard-s.smugmug.com/Nature/Birds/Falmouth-Pink-footed-goose/19700832_Hq377X/1546013323_spvDJL6/1546012615_SsdsVWV#1546010942_pTzP36F I should have some time available during the afternoons this coming week, so I'll keep trying - for both better photos and the Bean goose.
