BIrd ID

I was at the park and spotted this guy, anyone know the name?

Strange goose?LOL

Lol! That's what I was thinking too, judging by the webbed feet.

Looks like an Egyptian Goose. There are a number of these escaped from wildfowl collections and now breed in the wild

Thanks

And welcome to POTN

Welcome to the forums Wilf !

I'll second what you said, it's an african bird also found about the nile valley. It's introduced to a few places around the world now, it's name Alopochen Aegyptiacus - Egyptian Goose is a part of the tribe of Shield ducks.

Nice captures of it Mike, well done.
