See the website: http://www.waterfowl.org.uk/ choose; domestic waterfowl in the menu bar at top, then choose: geese, then choose: heavy geese The smallest in the photo is obviously a Canada goose, wild or feral is anyone's guess. The two geese on the outside of the photo don't match a breed or species description but could be the result of the mating of the African and Canada geese. The necks show some black like the Canada, the rumps of all the geese are white, the rump size is also larger than the Canada but not extreme like the African, and the backs of all of the geese are brown, the two seem to show some marking as in the African.

The birds were in Herring Cove, just outside of Liverpool about 1:00 this afternoon. They sent me the picture by e-mail and I have put it on my web site.
