The Hawaii Geese were bred here as part of a programme to save the species. This was so successful that they are now becoming quite a pest in the area. They have lost all sense of timidity, to such an extent that they are probably the most annoying species in the sanctuary, they also have the most ridiculous call of any bird I've ever heard - Neh-Neh - which is, AFAIK, their name on the Hawaiian Islands too. http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/nehneh_1 http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/nehneh3 http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/nehneh2 http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/canada_1 Canada Goose (gradually becoming the list mascot) http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/greylag IFIRR, a Greylag Goose, taken with a Sigma f8/600 Mirror lens http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Birds_1 Common birds in the UK, and probably everywhere else too, Chaffinch and Sparrow Comments please, and correction of my limited ornithological knowledge if necessary.
