Geese in the Long Grass! (PiPs)

Captured off the Ganavan Road. Oban. From here you can see the Isle of Lismore with the Isle of Mull behind it.

The geese in the PiPs were in the field on the left hand side. The second PiP amused me with the geese at the bottom of the picture buried up to thir necks in grass, - so low in fact I am sure they could almost hear the grass growing!!!

I have added a song by the Move called 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow'

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM0CE-O2CFg

They put up with us taking photos for a while and then took off (PiP 3)

I have also added a song called 'Birds' sung here by Linda Ronstadt

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwnr0i6_L78

Best viewed large I think. Thank you

Thank you very much Malik. I am just pleased they were there and healthy. In parts of Scotland the avian flu has caused many losses sadly. Only yesterday I read of beaches being closed until the dead birds could be cleared away.

Great capture Carol. The Move, crikey, that's an oldie if you like. Saw them 'live' St Georges Ballroom, Hinckley just after they'd released their first single 'Night Of Fear' late 60's

20 months ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Mick Herbert ^club

Thanks very much Mick. Yes an oldie indeed! You were very lucky as you seem to have ssen lots of bands live. I must admit to getting a little distracted when finding music, particularly from this era. They bring back memories and then I remember others and before long I have lost an hour or two!!!
