Chinese Goose

[Stu Bowie]

The other name for this goose is Swan Goose. It main breeding grounds are Russia and Mongolia, and obviously has been domesticated here in South Africa. I captured this a year ago at the sports grounds of the University of Pretoria. Taken late afternoon. The water is as shot.
