2 Pink-footed Geese

I arrived early this morning and in the dim light as I approached the car park and slipway, I heard an odd goose-like sound, higher pitched than Canada.  Soon after, I realised why - there were two Pinkfeet swimming just offshore with the Canadas and Mallard.  I didn't recognise the call from such close proximity!

I took a few grainy photos and left them to it;  unfortunately that proved to be the highlight.
