 |
fishing for geese During the nest checks, I discover a male goose with geolocator, which is very protective about the newly hatched goslings. I will try to catch this male, with my fishing rod. |
 |
I managed to get the rope around the neck. Next a quick pull and the geese is caught. |
 |
I quickly remove the string from the neck. |
 |
I turn the goose on its back |
 |
And remove the logger which is attached to the white ring with red inscription |
 |
Not everybody is happy to see me. Geese were used in ancient Rome to guard the city. |
