A wonderful looking goose and great shots.
cool goose
A wonderful bird.
Beautiful!
There are small numbers of them here but I'm never sure of their origins. They could be escapees or feral. An attractive bird though and you have some lovely pictures.
beautiful geese, lovely markings. love Sue
Oh, such colorful Egyptian Goose and I thought they are proud looking♫♫♫ Also impressed by "pair for life" p;) I felt ashamed of not remembering them appear Egyptian artwork.
I hope you will have a wonderful rest of the week, dear Sonija. Getting comfortable a little during the night, though... :-)

Amazing images!! I saw this goose here in Baton Rouge spring before last and was so enthralled as I'd never seen them prior to that. You really got some gorgeous, sharp shots of these beauties.
What a gorgeous bird!
beautifully marked birds.
Interesting that geese have a raucous reputation but were sacred. Nice shots.
They have such interesting colouring!
It's a beautiful bird...and I enjoyed learning about it too.
I just love those feathers!
I can see why there considered sacred. Beautiful birds. I think we have some domesticated ones here.....some are reported to even be wild ferals now in certain states! This is a stunner of a goose.....although geese are pretty amazing anytime. Hope you are well and thanks for sharing!
A splendid and strange looking bird - I saw my first one in the wild when I was in the Uk recently.
