Part one - the dancing goose

Hello - I am "Onkers" and probably the most famous resident on the River Exe. A few years back I was known as "the goose that thought he was a swan". Recently, I found a new family but that is another story and more photographs will come soon!

I hope that you will enjoy the two galleries of photographs, I am really a very clever goose!

Please click the link for my second gallery, Bath time and other activities.
