ONE OF OUR favourite shots of the day.
Thanks to Eoghan Dunne for sending it in to us.
However, there was also a late entry for our favourite image from easyJet which tweeted this shot from a Manchester to Reykjavik flight.

Hey folks, I’m the photographer. I thought it was a goose at first but yes it is actually a seagull. My bad! As for the photo, i totally winged it! ;)

Silly goose still stands
Silly goose
The news stories this evening are pure sheeeite
Just had a Gander there. Some people are so Gullible
Thats a seagull
The photographer assured us it was a goose…
It’s the goose seagull! With the body and head of a seagull but the mind of a goose!
Nobody gives a gander
I told you
Seen nothing, another wild goose chase…..
Fantastic photo, regardless of the bird species.
If thats a goose, where are all his mates.
Dressed up as hens as that is a seagull.
That’s nuthin’. I have a picture of a weasel on the back of a woodpecker in front of the eclipse. And there’s a mouse on top of the weasel. And an eagle under the woodpecker. Really.
Eh…..wow….
Not a goose!
Eclipses are sooooo overated
Not if you were in a place where it was visible, Cork City for example, great views
