In a flurry of wings and with loud indignant honking a large group of Greylag geese scuttle into the water and away from the local dogs patrolling the river bank.

Nature on the Edge 
I bet that was noisy! Great photo-story.
Yes – ia raucous gabble 😊
I have a big smile on my face now, how cute to see them in a row!
Their numbers are impressive – and the Canada geese!
It’s not good to hear the geese were mobilised by dogs, but it did allow you a lovely series of images. I particularly liked the one of them all lined up on the bank, like they’re on their marks for a race across the water.
It was extraordinary to see the action across the common on this hot summer’s day – cattle, ponies, waterfowl, errant children, people swimming, kayakers, punts and dog owners throwing balls for their dogs. The poor geese were harassed, and eventually moved upstream away from the crowds.
