Goose

[Chocky]

Here is a beautiful Goose with pink feet but is not like the Pink-Footed goose.
I really don't know which goose this is so I would appreciate an Id. it is a free goose and there were many of them along with Canada Geese.
Could be a female Pink-footed goose I don't know.

It's an Eqyptian Goose Chocky Alopochen aegytiaca, very nice capture.

I've never seen the bird before, but looking at its 'eye makeup' it could only be egyptian

[Chocky]

Yes. I think They are nice.come quite close to you if they think you are going to feed them
There are quite a few at Dwlish . There were about 6 here

There are a couple down at Caversham on the Promenade Louise, probably from Beale Park. :

I'll have to keep m,y eyes open then, I've only seen swans and mallards there... but then they are so numerous it would be easy to miss a lone stranger !

[Chocky]

Yes . They are vary pretty and have pink wellies

Last time I went down there, there were Canada Geese and a couple of Barnacle Geese, so I guess that you have to strike lucky.

Unfortunately I can never stay there for long to have a good look around, as I can't park anywhere, there is a height restriction barrier on the car park.

[ladylouise62]

Ahh, well, you should walk there, like me... and then feel so knackered when you get there that you have to start back immediately

[ladylouise62]

The last time I went there I was taking photos of the swans by a building and I thought that there was someone nearby with a radio on... eventually I realised that it was a tramp hidden behind some bins talking to himself but in different voices

[Chocky]

Lol. You get them too.
