Duddingston Loch in Winter Sunshine

 It's still very cold out there, though the sun has been shining brightly most of the day. We had a wee expedition to Duddingston Loch to see the geese and other birds. 

This goose is a Canada / greylag hybrid and was happy to pose for photos 

There are quite a few of these hybrids around Edinburgh!
