Egyptian Goose

[David Morison]

A pair of these stunningly attractive small geese decided to pay a visit to our local lakes:



The male is a real Dandy (even in the rain):

Very little difference in markings between the male and female. A bit unusual for the bird world I think.
Nice to see these

I especially like that second picture with the rain showing in the background.

Do they migrate from Egypt? Can't see why they would want to and the second shot backs me up

Re: Egyptian Goose

I think they were introduced as an ornamental species but a couple have escaped and the now breed occasionally in the UK, although I have never seen any juveniles.
