Geese at Temple Newsam

Geese Temple Nesam Leeds

This picture shows a small gaggle of geese at Home Farm on the Temple Newsam estate.

Anyone who has ever been chased by even a small number of geese will know why the Romans kept them as guard dogs, they are very effective. To be fair they only have a small number of geese at Temple Newsam and they are no way as aggresive as the Canada geese living in and around many public lakes and canals.

These geese are I discovered Chinese geese and like all geese if you get too close they hiss!!

  1. Nice shot Paul! Yes geese can be effective watch dogs, but they are also fun to watch.
