Waterfowl On The Ice

The cold weather we have had over the last few days is now going and the ice that had formed on the River Foss is now starting to melt. Here are some ducks and geese in and around the ice on the River Foss.

Canada Geese - Junction Monkgate and Huntington Road

These geese are some of the inhabitants of the small park mentioned in yesterday's blog. Canada geese have become so prolific in the UK that there is an open hunting season on them all year round. This pair came dashing up to me whilst I was taking photographs, no doubt expecting that I had brought them some stale bread to feed them. Sorry guys, no food, just a camera!
