^^; Well, the ones in the UK are introduced, and likely all descendants of once-captive feather-farm ones. Effectively means they're stranded ferals who never learned they're supposed to migrate. They're thought of as a nuisance, though they're not really a destructive invasive since they don't tend to stray from suburban parks or other non-wilderness areas and mostly leave the other goose species alone. It might be because occasionally smaller wild ones do end up in the north and coexist with the Scottish geese pretty well.

Ironically, in the US and Canada they're thought of as a "nuisance"... and they're native! ^^; That's mostly to do with their habit of pooping in yards, which if it were me I'd be thanking them for the free lawn fertilizer. XD

^^ They're really well-mannered geese, provided ya don't bother the nests (then it's time to get out the video camera and watch the chase XD).

Never heard of Egyptian goose before! Geez, they're gorgeous! :D I love their green wings and those eye-spots!

I'm more use to seeing them in the autumn but they and robins have been a regular site as we move further from winter into spring.
