The Spectacle Goose, better known as the Egyptian Goose, having escaped from some ornamental fowl collection, now breeds amongst the Norfolk Broads. I snapped these at South Walsham Broad.

I had indeed been wondering what an Egyptian goose was doing in your neck of the marshes.

My first sighting of an Egyptian Goose was way back in 1985, and that on the Trinity Broads (I’ve yet to feature those broads). So, nigh 30 years, you might imagine they’ve spread pretty far. I know they’re breeding along the River Tas, which lies south of Norwich, and features quite frequently in my walks.
