Stay Back!

I was photographing this variable oyster catcher and his mate the Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand when he took offense and started to advance on me. I took a few more shots then left him alone.

Stay Back! belongs to the following groups:

Animal Kingdom, Birds and Creatures of Flight, New Zealand Made and The Birds

thanks michelle! is your goose picture in your portfolio? i’d like to take a look if it is

Yes it is . It is called “Face off with a goose” . I wasn’t sure if the thing would attack me or what. But it got close, probably just wanted some bread cubes.
