Busy Swan Geese with Greylag Goose These Swan Geese were so restless and busy all the time, that it is difficult to get them “sharp”. There is a group of 5 swan geese (Domesticated breeds of Chinese goose, Anser Cygnoides) and one Greylag Goose (Anser anser) in the fields just at the north edge of the village Warmond in Holland. On this photo one Goose is missing, he was ahead of the group!! It looks like they are living freely together, always very, very busy (ADHD = Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ?? LOL ??), rather noisy but very friendly. They are always as a group of 6 with one of them as a stranger, the graylag goose. The Greylag is a lot more relaxed then his Swan Geese friends. They have remarkable keen eyes. It is not difficult to recognize them because they have a very characteristic knob on the beak!!! This knob on the beak is so similar to the Mute Swan, that these geese are also called Swan Geese!! Thanks for your time viewing Have a very nice day Henk
