There’s a white goose – a feral farmyard goose – which has been living on West Park lake for some time.
It doesn’t keep company with the greylag geese, although they are the same size it is, and the two types form a mixed and interbreeding block at, for example, the Severn at Bridgnorth. Nor does it hang around with the much more numerous and somewhat larger Canada geese.
Instead, it spends some time trying to latch on to swans, white-feathered like itself, but significantly larger than any of the geese. The swans, in their turn, seem just to ignore their follower.
