    Interesting, seeing these geese breeding so near civilization. Are they becoming like the Canada Geese in North America, that are becoming much less migratory and moving near to cities?

    The Pool is about 3 miles from the small town of Market Drayton and I haven't seen them breeding or on any water closer than that. They do however occasionally fly over the town and feed in fields nearby. Last year a pair of greylags successfully raised two youngsters on the Pool, which they left in mid-August joining the rest of the fock in the area for a month or two, then they all dissappeared throughout the winter. I wish I knew where they go, somewhere south I guess?

    Goups of greylags and canadas seem to mix without any problems, but the canadas do appear to stay in the area throughout the winter.
