EGYPTIAN GOOSE ARRIVES (ON SATURDAY)














SATURDAY 28 FEBRUARY

WILSTONE RESERVOIR

This morning there were two LITTLE EGRETS roosting in the usual bushes. They flew out together, but one returned later, which may have been the third bird.

Ian Williams spotted an EGYPTIAN GOOSE flying in from the North and there were eleven COMMON GOLDENEYE still and a Red Kite and Buzzard flying around as well.

The Egyptian Goose remained until at least mid-morning, often skulking in vegetation within the Drayton Bank (Dave Bilcock/Lee Evans). Dave managed a couple of record shots, published above.
