Yes that is a Swan Goose; he/she has been at Brydon for almost 2 months now. Probably an escapee from someone’s hobby farm or it was deliberately dumped there

.
He/she has been keeping company with a Canada Goose so it will be interesting to see if anything comes out of that relationship (apparently they can produce offspring).
