Resting greylag goose, Kiltonga, Newtownards (October 2014)
A greylag, resting, with head partly under its wing. The bird’s body was moving, gently, in rhythm with the breathing.
Kiltonga nature reserve (the Duck Ponds), Newtownards
The nature reserve at Kiltonga (sometimes “Dam Bottom” and also the “Duck Ponds”) is off the Belfast Road (the back road to Belfast via Bradshaw’s Brae). Much of it is very close to housing but it is an attractive walk as well as being a good spot to feed the birds.
