Barnacles again... and a Blackcap.



Among the 700+ Canada Geese, Greylags and Barnacles at Llyn Coed y Dinas is the first bird above, which has bright orange legs, and is presumably a hybrid. There are some obvious Canada/Greylag hybrids, but I wonder if this could be a Canada/Swan Goose mix? Interestingly the white mark is only on its right flank.
The male Blackcap was hiding in the Rowan and Clematis at Welshpool High School
