they are Egyptian Geese - https://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/e/egyptiangoose/ind... "Related to the shelduck, this pale brown and grey goose has distinctive dark brown eye-patches and contrasting white wing patches in flight. It was introduced as an ornamental wildfowl species and has escaped into the wild, now successfully breeding in a feral state."
Lovely picture!
Are these the ones that are quite aggressive ?
These were in the rare section in the back of my bird book and the picture's not very good which made identification really tricky. It made me so excited to see something different. I'm a bit of a 'Bad Birdwatcher' a la Simon Barnes and even in Haringey I've seen so much to enjoy. A kestrel above the house (not on the ladder anymore, I'm up on Boundary Road now), Black Caps in the garden last winter, Goldfinches on our feeder this summer, Redwings on Duckett's Common about four winters ago, Long Tailed Tits in one particular tree in Downhills Park, not to mention the fabulous Starlings and Crows mooching around the rec. One of the joys of middle age is you can admit this stuff and not care if you're cool or not. Hooray for birds in the city!
