Hey dear Hiveans, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new contribution and hope you had a pleasant start to the new week! In this article I would like to share some pictures and present a part of nature and am happy if you can learn new things.
This magnificent creature is also known as greylag goose or scientifically Anser anser and it's one of the most common species of ducks in Europe which is typical known for the gray color. It can be considered as one of the ancestors of other species of geese which are frequently found and partly this animal can be seen all year round, but this is always dependent on the region and what climate prevails there and if it should be colder, the greylag goose flies to warmer areas to stay there. To overwinter it flies to the south and usually not alone, but in the group and as a diverse being it can not only fly but also swim and run relatively fast and it can be described as relatively independent of the time of day and can be seen during the day or night and as can be seen in these pictures, it feeds mainly on plants. Because of the classic gray color and the stature, the greylag goose is easily recognisable and normally it can be found in small groups and also the life expectancy is high and it can be described as an extremely intelligent or adaptable creature and researchers have found that it is particularly strong in remembering certain patterns or images. In ancient cultures, the greylag goose also already had an important meaning and is deeply anchored in mythology and was often associated with gods and it was also not uncommon that this goose was even kept as a pet and it has also an important meaning in numerous legends or fairy tales.
Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about nature! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
