"Just barnacle geese like always... Hey, what's that in front of them tapping the mud with its foot?"

Wie viele Gänse auf einem See waren, sieht man oft erst, wenn sie sich kollektiv aufregen.

"Hey, wie gehts" oder "heeeyyy, mach Platz, ey". Bei Gänsen schwer zu unterscheiden.

JumblePublishingThese particular barnacle geese are from the third version of "Topographia Hibernica" created under the supervision of the author, Gerald of Wales (c1146-c1223). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
Medieval barnacle geese that missed the water when they fell from their originating tree died as in this image from a c1287 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme". #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
Gerald of Wales (c1146-c1223) is said to have developed the idea of barnacle geese generation while on an 1185 tour of Ireland. His descriptions imply that the geese are formed from goose barnacles which were really seeds. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
In medieval thought, barnacle geese hatched from trees which grew over water. They would hang off the tree by their beaks until mature when they would fall down into the water as seen in this 13th century image. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
