Description
I can believe what the author wrote, because this guy was loud, nosy, and bossy of two White Pekin ducks! Also, hated we interfered with taking photographs of the other ducks, and birds!
"The Chinese is one of the post popular and well known breeds of domestic goose. Unofficially, there are two kinds of Chinese geese: those that hate the world and everything that moves within it, and those which have to be picked up and carried to their shed. They are so tame that they prefer to stand around your feet and won't be driven. The sort you end up with depends partly on the strain, but mainly on how you rear them and treat them. They can be wonderful watchdogs - tame and real pets with their owners, but noisy when anything unusual is around."
"Chinese geese are considered by many to be the most graceful and beautiful member of the goose family. They are elegant and dignified on both land and water. Sometimes referred to as "Swan Geese" because of their long and graceful necks, they descend from the wild swan goose native to Asia."

Wonderful composition! The placement of the goose gives it a nice sense of movement. Beautiful reflection.
