I thought that the White Goose was a straight foreward Domestic Goose grazing with the Canada Geese. That was, until I saw the markings on the side of the breast - they look incredibly close to the markings on the Cananda Geese albeit faint. I shall have to check this out to see if it is cross Domestic x Canada Goose.
