I had some free time yesterday and walked about in the Donau-Auen National Park here in Vienna. Some of the birds that I saw behaved the same as familiar species, but had a different appearance, like this goose, which I think is a Greylag Goose (Anser anser).
I spotted this goose from a distance and zoomed in and got a few shots. Despite the fact that I was a considerable distance from it, the goose could sense my presence and took off at a moment when I was looking through the viewfinder, permitting me to capture an action shot that almost filled the frame.

Must be nice to travel so you can shoot pictures of other animals that live elsewhere.
I love shooting on my home territory, but it is also nice to be able see the different species in a different location. Even the ordinary birds here in Vienna seem unusual to me.
Great series, Mike!
Thanks, Chris. It is fascinating to see some of the ordinary birds of a different location. For me they are exotic and unusual.
