A pair of Greylag geese on the lake.

Hi everyone,

Here's a photo I took yesterday afternoon at the lake, there were quite a few of these geese there and you can see how large they are compared to the sea gull.

It was a lovely afternoon for a walk and I walked along a path on the edge of the forest so it was all very pleasant and great exercise. I do like ponds and lakes especially ones like this which are in the forest.

I walked around 4.5 miles in 2 hours which was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours on a sunny Spring afternoon. Being surrounded by nature is so good for us especially when the weather is good.

Hi Hidden

Those Grey Lagged Geese look very happy on the lake. Your walk sounds very pleasant indeed. Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you had a lovely walk Jerry. Sounds very peaceful. So have you been on a steam boat there or is that a daft question 🤣

[Hidden in reply to Agoodenough]

LOL Ali, there's a no boats or swimming sign...which didn't seem to stop the ducks and geese mind...😂

What a beautiful place you live Jerry, surrounded by wildlife 😊 Have you seen any eagles or crested Tits?

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Thank you Debs, I live in the Forest of Dean and think that eagles and crested tits are found more in the forests in Scotland but if I do I'll do my best to take a photo as I'd love to see both of them. 😊

Sorry Jerry - geography was never my strong point : >

It would be amazing to get a great photo of a crested tit - they are so tiny

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Hi Debs and please don't apologise and I'd love to see a crested tit, I love gold crests too as they are very small and weigh less than 100g and migrate here from N Africa. 😊

Gold crests are so adorable and so tiny, I love seeing them, would love to see a fire crest - not seen one of those yet

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

I agree Gold crests are adorable little birds and I'd love to see a firecrest too. 😊

[Kitten-whiskers in reply to Hidden]

I will keep a look out for your pics Jerry 😉
