Residents at Hawkesbury Lagoon, Waikouiti, New Zealand.
The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is New Zealand’s largest wetland bird and was introduced as a game bird from Australia to New Zealand in the 1860s.
Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) came to New Zealand from the United States as a gift from US President Theodore Roosevelt, and there are now so many of them they are sometimes regarded as a pest.
Taken with Canon EOS 450D, not sure which lens was on at the time :) Thanks for viewing, your comments are welcome and always valued.

Not sure if a grouping of swans and geese is a gaggle or not. Sure nice of President Roosevelt to give away Canada's birds. lol Well, I guess you could say it is representative of our tradition of being pests around the world. I love the beautiful reflections and the surrounding terrain as I am sure these lovely birds must too.

They seem to get on well - except when the play rugby probably LOL! Nice shot of the birds enjoying themselves before the cold weather sets in!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
A nicely composed waterfowl shot, LynEve. I like the tranquil setting with the swan and hump of grass in the foreground. Nice depth of field, as well.

I like the composition of this with the water winding through the shot.
