Southport, Merseyside, UK 08/05/2018. UK Weather. Canada geese, now considered a pest in the UK, with ducklings take an evening swim in the Marine lake in calm conditions. Skies have cleared after rain in late afternoon with temperatures falling away to near normal. The Canada Goose was first introduced as an ornamental bird on lakes but considerable numbers of them became wild. It is a large brown goose with a black head. The offspring learn to fly after 40 to 48 days and remain with their parents until the following breeding season. Credit: MediaWorldImages/AlamyLiveNews/
