England's Egyptian Geese and More

Egyptian Geese in Norwich, England. Not sure why they're called Egyptian and why they're in England. Perhaps they nest in Egypt and migrate to England? Hmm.


Me with a bit of old Norwich wall dating back ~900 years ago.
Here are some views of Ipswich. Lovely!

Cool! Thanks for posting the pic of the geese!

Glad to see you were doing your part in holding up that wall. Those old buildings don't always stay up by themselves.

According to Wikipedia, the Egyptian goose is a duck originally from Africa and especially Egypt, hence the name. But there's a feral population in the U.K. introduced there in the 1700's.
