Well, I haven't been around much yet in Northern Germany, as I spent most of my weekends either furnishing my so far still pretty empty apartment (that is except for the cartons and boxes) or dancing at somebody else's wedding. Still, I live very close to a park called Schrevenpark which is pretty interesting, at least in terms of geese. I hope to be able to cover all different species. Today I give you two at a time in form of a hybrid:
This is definitely a canada goose hybrid and I would suspect greylag goose as the other parent. But I have no experience whatsoever with goose hybrids. (By the way, we blogged about a very similar one from Råstasjön South of Stockholm,
before.) Anyway, Schrevenpark has several more goose species to offer... but I'll get to that in a future post.

That sure looks like a Canada Goose x Greylag Goose hybrid. I photographed a similar looking bird in a mixed flock of Canada and Greylag geese in Norway a few years ago at Stokkelandsvanet, in Ganddal. You can see the photo here. http://tcnaturalist.blogspot.com/2009/08/canada-goose-x-graylag-goose-hybrid.html
