Status: Winter migrant, with Icelandic birds between November & April. Feral birds are present year round.
Conservation Concern: Amber-listed in Ireland as the majority of the population winters at less than ten sites. The European population is considered to be Secure.
Identification: Large bulky grey goose, with pinkish-orange bill and dull pink legs. Plumage is plain grey/brown. Some with thin white rim at the base of the bill, and many with dark marks on the belly.
Similar Species: Other goose species, especially Greenland White-fronted and Pink-footed.
Call: Nasal cackling noise, trisyllabic, with the first higher pitched.
Diet: Greylag Geese used to concentrate more on estuaries, where they fed on the roots of rushes and sedges. Arable farming in Scotland increased during the post- war years, and appeared to coincide with increasing numbers of Greylag Geese switching to feed on arable farmland. Greylag Geese currently feed mostly on cereal stubble and grassland in their wintering areas.
Breeding: Breeds by lakes and reservoirs, with the nest site often close to water and hidden in reeds or other waterside vegetation. Nests in pairs, but locally colonially.
Wintering: The Icelandic population winters in Scotland and Ireland, occurring mostly at coastal sites. Highly gregarious.
Where to See: Icelandic birds occur at seven main locations where they are mostly seen in large numbers (up to 3,000, but usually in low hundreds) feeding on grasslands. The feral population is more widespread, occurring usually in smaller numbers, usually less than 10, throughout the country. Lough Swilly in County Donegal, Braganstown in County Louth, Poulaphouca Reservoir in County Wicklow, Mountseskin/Gortlum in County Dublin and the River Suir Lower in County Waterford are among the top sites. There are many other sites that support Greylag Geese of feral origin. Their range is much more widespread. Large numbers occur at Lough Neagh and Strangford Lough.
Physical characteristics
Different from outer geese basically uniform coloration of body and bill, his bill less black marks, sometimes black spots or blotches present on belly. Juvenile generally less strongly patterned dorsally and overall has more mottled plumage. Subspecies rubrirostris has pink bill and paler plumage.
Habitat
Generally associated with water in open country, often with fringe vegetation or near grasslands. Winters in swamps, lakes and coastal lagoons, or on farmland in open country.
Other details
This goose inhabits the temperate and boreal regions of Europe and Asia. The birds visiting the European Union belong more or less to five distinct populations (Scott & Rose). The first population comprises the sedentary birds of north-western Scotland. It has nearly doubled during the last 20 years and is currently amounting to 5250 individuals. The second population is breeding in Iceland and wintering in Scotland, northern England and Ireland. It increased from 25000 in 1950 to 100000 currently. The third population is breeding in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Western Germany the Netherlands and Belgium, and wintering from the Netherlands to Spain and Morocco. From 30000 at the end of the 1960's, it increased to 200000 currently. The fourth population is breeding in north-eastern Sweden, Finland, the Baltic States and Central Europe, transiting in Italy and wintering in Tunisia and Algeria. It is estimated at 20000 individuals and seems to be quite stable. The fifth population is breeding in the Black Sea regions and Turkey. It reaches northern Greece, and can be estimated at 25000 individuals. Its trends are not well known, but it is probably declining
Feeding
Various plants: roots, leaves, stems and seeds also fruits, grain, potatoes and sprouting cereals in winter,. Forages mostly by grazing on dry land, but also on water, where it sometimes upends.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 1,000,000-10,000,000 km². It has a large global population estimated to be 920,000-970,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2002). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Eggs are layed form March-April in loose colonies. Shallow nest of reed stems and grass, lined with down, among reedbeds, on ground or in trees. The Clutch size is 4-6 eggs and incubation lasts 27-28 days. Chicks have brownish olive down yellow below. This Goose reaches sexual maturity in 3 years. Although greylag geese Anser anser establish long-term monogamous pairbonds, some of the existing pairs do split up (divorce) and new pairs are formed during the annual spring mating period.
During the incubation period the gander stays close to the nest, and when the goslings a few days old leave the nest they are cared for by both parents, at this time small family groups may be formed. The gander will aggressively protect goslings and nest and an intruder will be met by hissing and threatening attitudes or may be attacked.
Migration
A few populations sedentary but most birds move southwards to winter in traditional sites at lower latitudes; many European birds follow French coast and concentrate in large numbers, up to 80,000 in Dec/Jan, in Donana marshes, SW Spain. Irregular occurrences often depend on extent of icing during particular winter.
This is, hopefully, one of many more experimental images to come. Sometimes it's difficult to force my mind outside of that "subject" mentality and focus more on shape, color and mood. These images are an attempt to learn to selectively focus my mind.
I like the chaos this presents. Yet, even in that chaos there is this unmistakable, repeating sense of order.
Despite what your eyes may tell you, this image has not been "photoshopped" any more than the usual curves, cropping and color. However, it looks fake and, almost, painted.
High grain, slight overexposure, and slightly out of focus will get you this effect, if you ever want to try it yourself.

Order and Chance - The Unmaking of Time
Led by artist Sarah Sparkes
Monday 5 March – Saturday 31 March 2012,
This five-session course invites you to celebrate and engage with the diverse body of works and processes developed by the Italian artist Alighiero e Boetti. His extensive artistic practice is unique in the choice of materials, techniques and artistic strategies that he developed over the three decades of his professional life.
Time – its construction and de-construction – appeared as a recurring theme for Boetti. He was interested in the relationship between the conception of an idea and its execution, often directing others to make his artworks. Boetti considered everything in the world of potential use to the artist. The ephemera of the everyday were media through which he could explore his interest in the opposing relationship between order and chance, the individual and society, error and perfection.
Inspired by Boetti’s practice, this course is an opportunity to investigate and practically engage with the methods of working collaboratively and individually to create both intimate and large-scale works. Using everyday, easily accessible ephemera such as postcards, calendars, magazines, diaries, graph paper, maps and charts, we explore the representation of time and other systems of order and how to visually ‘unmake’ them.
This five-session course will conclude with a small exhibition of work on Saturday 31 March 2012, 16.00–17.00 in the Level 7 East Room at Tate Modern, open to friends and family.

Award for Martial Skill for Avacal. When printed, the majority of the bottom will be cut away. It is based on two Norse Swords I found. The one in the back has a nice photo up in Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/nielsprovos/7574692532/lightbox/ and a little write up the photographer did here: www.provos.org/index.php?/archives/103-On-a-quest-for-Vik... saying its 9th/10th Century from Denmark.
The sword in the front I adapted from here: www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=22401 down the page a bit #"86. A sword found in Södermanland, Sweden, made in the late 10th Century." The one with the Bears where I put the Raven heads.
This website had some really great photos and starting points for research. Including this great thread on what the grips should look like, so putting the writing on the grip lost us out on some very fancy decorations. www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=13019&postdays...
If I could have translated this site a little better I would have had other great options as well but I couldn't read for certain that these were in the timeperiod I was aiming for:

One of Ireland's top-20 most widespread garden birds.
Status: Resident. Some additional birds may arrive from Continent in winter.
Conservation Concern: Green-listed in Ireland. The European population has been evaluated as Secure.
Identification: Smaller than a Chaffinch, this brightly-coloured finch has become a familiar sight at garden nut feeders in recent years. Striking black and yellow wings usually catch the eye first, but the scarlet red "face" and black and white head markings are equally striking, set off against a rather plain brown back and whitish underside. The tail is black with white spots and the rump white. Very active, has a bounding flight and can occur in large flocks.
Similar Species: Greenfinch, Chaffinch
Call: Song a liquidy, rather quiet string of twitters, not unlike a Swallow. Anxiety note a questioning "queue", rising towards end.
Diet: Mostly seeds - especially fine seeds of grasses and thistles. Will readily use peanut feeders.
Breeding: Breeds throughout Ireland - in hedgerows, orchards, parks and gardens. Delicate nest of moss, hairs and feathers in fork, quite high in hedge or tree.
Wintering: Widespread.
Where to See: Common and widespread in Ireland.
Physical characteristics
Small, delicate, beautifully marked finch, with noticeably pointed bill and light dancing flight. At all ages, displays diagnostic shining, golden-yellow panel along center of black wing. Adult has unique head pattern of seemingly vertical bands of red-white-black and has tawny-brown back contrasting with wings, bold whitish rump, and black tail. Voice distinctive. Sexes closely similar, little seasonal variation.
Habitat
Breeds over west Palearctic north to isotherms of 17'C in boreal, temperate, Mediterranean, and steppe zones, both Atlantic and continental. Predominantly in lowlands, but in Switzerland breeds generally up to 1000 m, and occurs in late summer and autumn up to 2400 m, resorting to alpine meadows and areas near chalets. In breeding season, shows preference for orchards, parks, gardens, avenues, and tree nurseries, often in or near human settlements, and especially where patches of tall weeds and other concentrated food sources are present. Also favours streamside of fen woodlands, open or fringe woodlands and heath lands, and commons with well-grown hawthorn, gorse, and other scrub or thicket species.
Other details
Carduelis carduelis is a widespread resident across most of Europe, which accounts for less than half of its global range. Its European breeding population is extremely large (>12,000,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970-1990. Although there were declines in a few countries-notably Turkey-during 1990-2000, populations were stable or increased across the vast majority of Europe, and the species underwent a slight increase overall.
Feeding
Small seeds, mainly Compositae. In breeding season, also small numbers of invertebrates. Prefers seeds in milky, half-ripe state, so changes food plants constantly over year, and continually on move from one patch of suitable species to another, which can be several km away, sometimes following the same route every day. Generally takes seeds directly from flower or seed-head on plant, mostly on herbs, rarely grasses, in wasteland, open countryside, copses, etc., less often in parks or gardens. In winter regularly in trees, principally alder and pine.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 1,000,000-10,000,000 km². It has a large global population, including an estimated 23,000,000-57,000,000 individuals in Europe (BirdLife International in prep.). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Breeding starts late May to mid July in Britain, first half of May to early July in Finland, end of may to mid June in Germany, April-May in North Africa, May-June in Azores. Nest site is Well hidden in inaccessible outermost twigs of tree, and cover seems more important than support. Nest is a very neat and compact cup of moss, roots, grass, and spider silk, which sometimes binds foundation to twigs, thickly lined with plant down, wool, hair, and occasionally feathers. 4-6 eggs are laid, incubation, 9-14 days by female only.
Migration
Mainly resident and dispersive. In the winter they group together to form flocks of up to about 40 birds, occasionally more. Northern birds can move further South to escape extreme cold

By swinging the camera - I captured the tv screen updating itself. This was possible due to the slow camera shutter speed caused by the dim inside lighting. In case anyone is wondering.. the face is of the British comedian/ film critic/ chat show host Jonathan Ross.
The title is a bit of a pun. It is a reference to the well known British television host - Noel Edmons who, during his 2006 interview by Jonathan Ross (following the success of his new television game show) said he was into a (pretty harmless) belief system called 'Cosmic Ordering'. In short it is where you make a request of the Divine, or God, or the Universe or whatever you choose to call it. You can ask for anything and the very action of having asked makes your request more likely to come true.
For years I have been collecting misspelt phoenixes - shops, businesses, several pubs, a garage, a carwash, even - sadly - a tattoo. Tonight, my old employer, ITV, managed to top and tail every break in the Harry Potter movie with an incorrect caption. This has to be the most public "Pheonix" ever. Made my day.
