Regular visitors to my gallery will know the Nene / Hawaiian Goose is extremely rare in Hawaii but abundant at WWT wildlife sanctuaries across the UK.
However there is a problem to their future existence ! All these birds have been pinioned .. what's that you may say ? well all the Gosling have had their flight bones deliberately broken at a very early age to prevent flight.
UK law forbids the introduction of foreign species into the wild preventing them from escaping to freedom, & possible survival. Oh well mustn't grumble enjoy some Happiness from Goldfrapp instead. (o:

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Ah, he is a beauty. Love his colors and the deep colored liquid reflections. AND the droplets still hanging on. Saved.

Who ever has the job of snapping the wings must be related to The Hangman. Nice post and makes one pause as to some of the reasoning of so called leaders.

May you never forget what is worth remembering,
Or remember what is best forgotten.
So good to have you back and showing waterfowl pictures, Phil. This is a lovely image of this rare goose. Keep them coming!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

They ought to rename them UK Geese. There is already a Hawaiian Punch, they don't have to name everything after that state. LOL. Very nice, Phil. I like the bit of brown/orange on it's head.
