last week I photographed a Canada Goose on our large park lake, asking around as to anyone slse seeing this rare visitor I asked a local `wildfowler` [bird shooter] if he had ever come across the bird on near-by Lough Neagh, he replied it wouldn`t be around too long,"we shoot anything that flies".
This reply was greeted with loud laughter from our`wildfowler`, [what a strange term for a slaughterer of birds, and no, they don`t eat what they shoot they bin them, I have seen them.
