Goose attack!

We went to our local pond for a stroll and to bring some bread to the Mallards and Geese that usually hang out there.
One couple of Geese was there with the ducks. When a second couple arrived, lured by the excited shouts (bread! bread!), it was continuously chased and attacked by the first couple, particularly aggressive.
I managed to take a few usable shots, conscious that it's photojournalism rather than art
Thanks for looking.
C&C welcome.

1. Plowing ahead, full steam

Apparently, that first one had NO intentions of sharing LOL Great action shots Gerard

That's one, unhappy looking goose Nice catch

Great set, Gerard Geese can be really nasty. Swans too

Yep, he didn't want to hear any of it. Thanks Sharon

Yep, very aggressive throughout the session, even sometimes with the ducks; he caught a female Mallard by the edge of a wing and did not want to let her go for what seemed a long while - created some racket in that pond. Thanks Eric.

So much for the nice world of our peaceful preferred critters . Thanks Ian.

Love the avian photojournalism Gerard!
Geese are definitely territorial and food hogs and you've captured that very nicely. I love the last couple with the goose charging across the top of the water. Very nicely done.

Looks like Republicans and Democrats-lol. Or maybe just the Republicans. Anyway, great action series, I liked them.

neat series, Girard

Thank you Steve. Actually in most cases I can see a number of couples mingling without problem; I'm no specialist of geese, I really don't know why this particular one was so aggressive, so persistently.

Well, I did not ask their party affiliation - so I will avoid any kind of political comment
