Ryans Field

As well as photographing the seals we spent an hour at Ryan's field and photographed the hybrid goose and Canada's. Identification of the hybrid is proving difficult, the thinking is a Dark Morph Snow goose and probably an escapee. However to me the beak and legs look like they belong to a Bar Headed goose, anyway it appears that the bird has been around for a long time .
I snapped the Canada as it flew into the estuary, the only enhancement was to alter the light levels and with the selection tool I moderately sharpened its head.
