It’s nesting season at the duck pond, which actually has more geese than ducks. Around the pond proper there are several nesting groups, but this couple wanted a bit more privacy and are nesting at the far end of the creek by themselves. Last year there was a small nesting group here so perhaps these two are waiting for the neighbours to arrive. The male was very protective and drew Jack away from the nesting site and gave him quite a verbal drubbing. Honk, honk, honk is obviously a 4 letter goose word for fuck off, buddy.

The first one is very expressive.
I think barnacle geese here like to nest in the archipelago, while I mostly see Canada geese (hen I see them, barnacle geese are more numerous) on the mainland but never far away from the sea shore.
