Thanks Steve, Was fairly near to the Goose and at a low level - rattled off several shots when it was sqauking in the hope of getting one reasonable one.

Hi Mitch, Angle wing is a decease that effects water fowl and results in deformed wings which leaves the bird totally flightless. The root cause is reckoned to be overfeeding of things like bread. This is a pic of the bird in question.

Great shots! Too bad about the goose's wing. I wonder if they can recover if fed a proper diet. Of course, if its wings are deformed and it can't fly, it's stuck at the pond and will likely continue eating bread and other people food.
