Grumpy Pink-footed Geese

A few weeks ago (5th April to be precise) I was sitting in the car by Rinnleiret in Trøndelag, enjoying the sunshine and watching around 4500 Pink-footed Geese Anser brachyrynchus (N=kortnebbgås) moving to and fro along the south side of the bay. There were several small disputes between individuals. One of these disputes between two geese lasted for several minutes, and I could almost feel the force of the wing-slapping and biting as the geese quarrelled about 50-60 metres away. I rattled off a few hundred photos, and a selection of these appear below.
