Geese - taken about 10 seconds before they attacked.

They don't half have a temper.... Maybe they only like Canon DSLRs? Maybe they thought spot metering was some sort of insult? Check out the eyes on number 3... haven't seen that look since I overtook a Tuscan S at Donington (twice) :)

This should be in a caption competition, though I can't think of anything witty to put.
Great pics though.
Oh, BTW, geese make an excelent alternative to a guard dog. People just don't know how they're going to behave, so are very wary of them, as you probably found out 10 seconds after the last photo was taken

With the significant benefit of being very, very tasty too.
200C for at least four hours (possible more depending on the bird). Heavily salt the skin and make sure its on a rack. Do the bird until the entire skin becomes crispy and you could cut into it with a spoon.
The quantity of fat that comes out of 'em is amazing. Keeps for at least a year in the fridge and makes the world's finest roast potatoes.
Lovely shots too, Mr Carter. And now you know how to get your revenge!

The fattyness of geese depends on how they have been kept. Geese are essentially grazers.
A couple of years ago we bought a couple of goslings from a local organic farmer, we let our geese free range on our fields, they came in at night but would terroise the ducks we also kept. (I'm fortunate to have 10 acres). They were slaughted and prepared by the organic farmer (in a mobile processing station). Interestingly enough, our geese where at least 50% bigger (and proved to be less fatty when cooked). She had kept heres basicaly in a barn/farm courtyard and fed them organic poultry feed.
Animals needs to be kept in there natural environments whenever possible.
They tasted great too!
BTW Great Pictues, and they do attack as my 4yo daugther found out, live vesson learnt don't chase the geese! On Xmas day we sat down and she asked what are we having for dinner, Geese we relied, Good she said I'm really looking forward to this, so revenge was sweet!
