Greylag goose, Kiltonga, Newtownards - February 2015(1)
A greylag goose, in an aggressive mood, chasing another which had come a bit too close. I’ve seen this happen many, many times but never seen a full altercation. The intruder always seems to give way.
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.
