Difficult to tell whether this Greylag is a goose or a gander. In a flock, the male gander is usually 3 to 6 inches taller than the female goose. Also the male tends to hiss and puff up at your approach. Well it wasn't hissing at me and I was very close so I guess it's a goose! Or maybe it's become somewhat tame from being fed so often by the visitors to this lakeside Nature Reserve in Arklow, Co Wicklow and can't be bothered to hiss or even puff.
