Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAD 24/05: unwelcome visitors / looking for poultry advice

Three PADs for yesterday, mainly because it is a logical sequence. I  
am also cross-posting to the LUG because there are some extremely  
knowledgeable people there, and I need some advice.

There are some ducks(?) or geese(?) that have taken up residence  
nearby. As a result, we often find this in our pool (this one was  
yesterday afternoon):

Looks cute, except that they shit in the pool, which is a major  
nuisance. So I let the dog out or scare them off myself. They usually  
go reluctantly, first up onto the garden wall:

And then finally they f**k off:

So now I have some questions for the birders here:
- what is this species?
- is it edible?
- is there something we can to scare them off when we are not at  
home? Is there any particular plant or smell that they hate?

TIA,
Nathan
