Brown Geese update

  1. Hi Ray, thanks very much for looking. I hope you didn't go out of your way too much. I feel like an idiot now, I'd have never thought they were greylags even from the brief view I had. That'll teach me to birdwatch and drive at the same time! You should have titled you post - "Wild Goose Chase"!
