Goodness - I've never really thought about them being out in the wild, I just know the name from the old song "Don't Dilly Dally" (yep, now singing it to myself - the cat has now left the room......)

"My old man said, "Follow the van, don't dilly dally on the way!"
Off went the cart with the home packed in it,
I walked behind with me old cock linnet.
But I dillied and dallied, dallied and dillied,
Lost the van and don't know where to roam.
You can't trust the specials like the old-time coppers
When you can't find your way home."


Nice picture though, and good to see one.

nice shot, wild goose. very handsome birds aren't they.
as louise points out they were once a popular caged bird as canaries are.
much better to see them wild though.
