Egyptian Geese on a visit

A pair of Egyptian Geese have made their home in Ladywell Fields.  In Britain, this species is found mainly in East Anglia at sites with open water, short grass and suitable nesting locations.  They disperse in winter along many rivers where they feed on grass and cereals. Egyptian geese usually pair for life. 

While in Ancient Egyptians considered them sacred, they may be shot in modern Britain if causing problems.  Please note, our pair are not causing any harm in Ladywell Fields.
