Mangifera indica.
Magpie geese underneath the trees. They love to eat the fallen mangoes and when they have their bellies full, they fly off in beautiful V formation, hundreds at a time, to go to the lagoons for a drink. They come back later in the afternoon for another feed. Quite a sight and sound as they gack gacking whilst they fly over.Anseranas semipalmata ( magpie geese ).
