Well a spat anyway. Originally the Greylag goose caught my eye and I took a few shots of it skimming across the water. Only when examining the days images did I notice that the Canada goose was chasing the Greylag.

All shots on Pentax K-3iii and Pentax 150-450mm with the lens set at 230mm

1. Closing in on the target! 1/1250th, f/8, iso 640

Well caught sequence, the K3iii with the 150 - 450 is an excellent combination

Lovely series and it is only when viewing them 'large' that one realizes the quality of the kit used.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

To back up David's comment I have attached an uncropped version of one of the images - the K3iii and 150-450mm really are quite stunning as a combo.
