Geese

We had four pairs of Egyptian geese nesting in the park this spring, more than we’ve ever had.

As the name suggests, they originate from Africa but were brought here as an ornamental species and are now breeding happily.

They like hollows in old trees, they are also very territorial and like to have noisy fights.

The increase in numbers might be linked to our new ponds.

And off they go. Back next year.
