Shouldn't do. Geese are too big for most birds of prey so they are more likely to ignore them.

I'd imagine peregrines will take a goose now and again, and you've a good chance of seeing these in urban environments now.

However you are more likely to see a sparrowhawk. Some of the best photos I've taken are of a sparrowhawk it was feasting on a pigeon just on the other side of a wall so i crawled along the wall and slowly poked my head and camera onto the wall and was no more than 2 metres away from it simply beautiful despite the pigeon it was ripping open.

Golden eagles will kill them as well as White tailed eagles, but the chances of one of those turning up are pretty slim. There used to be some golden eagles in the lake district, but I don't know whether they are still there.

Look up pink footed goose you might get them in the park.

Golden eagles are beautiful.

No pink footed geese from what I remember. Just Canada geese (probably causing you great pain with my terminology here), coots, mallards and a few crested ones. I'll be headed there tomorrow night, will have a look out. love shack v2342321

I might have to put myself into exile from the forums for the duration of the double xp.

My plans for a weekend of some hardcore scaping have been scuppered and instead I'll be sat in mini digger in the middle of nowhere waiting for muck to arrive then spend 10 minutes leveling it off and then waiting another 30-45mins for the next load, hopefully will be done during saturday. I won't even be getting paid anything extra, the perks of working for family, eh?

I've not seen wild golden eagle, yet, but yes very majestic birds.

Can't be wrong terminology as those are the names of the birds :P

Crested ones as in great crested grebes?

their courtship display is a nice sight.

Hi everyone! I know before today that I was thinking of never returning, but figured that would be fairly stubborn of me. Sometimes coming online is easy to get upset/ticked off/disagree/whatever, but I figure there are some who need me far more than I could ever need them, and it is nice hanging with you all and talking!
