It is difficult to show all the beauty of this bird. Even not so intense light makes the purple swamphens appear black. This time we were lucky. An hour before sunset the birds were foraging on the fairly densely overgrown lake shore. The distance was small, the light was soft and perfect, and the pictures were of much better quality than those presented so far. But something difficult to ignore was that we were aware of the occurrence of salt-water crocodiles in these waters.

A little funny situation the creation of this gallery. So far, presented pictures in this gallery were included in the gallery green woodpecker. A mistake in identification is hereby removed in the result is a new gallery (Robert thank you for the tip). Small gallery of Green woodpecker is hereby divided into two smaller gallery.

Most pictures published here were taken when shooting on breeding ponds or on open reservoirs in Malta ZOO in Poznań. Geese did not stay there for long, unfortunately. They were very wary and watchful. Luckily they flew up and while swimming on the pond swung full circle in front of my lens, allowing me to take a few photos. Photos maybe not a top-flight yet, but so far Greylag geese have not had a session like the white-tailed eagle, black stork, or plains wanderer. Greylag geese, that are similar to the grain geese, are considerably larger than those.

It was quite a surprise that it appeared in Poland and I could photograph it. It truly is beautiful and enormous. Unfortunately, on the first day, when I had the chance to take photos, there was a bad light and a dense fog. Luckily, it also appeared at the end of the day, in better lightning conditions. He is indeed huge. Its wingspan reaches up to 2.8 metres and his weight is 7 kilograms. So it is bigger than our biggest predator – White-tailed Eagle. It was interesting to watch those two species.
