The Egyptian Goose ( Alopochen aegyptiacus) is a African bird which was introduced into Britain and is today commonly found in most of its parks.The bird was sacred to the ancient Egyptian and I spotted it at Diana memorial in London.
Because of the distinctive brown eye patch this goose is easy to identify.
If you notice the photograph closely you can see that the body of the bird is come sharper than the face, this is because, I focused on the body, instead of the face ( The head was bobbing while the body was steady making it a easier target) a fundamental error, but I was helpless, the bird flew as soon as it spotted me.

Yep they are from Africa these birds are very common here I have pics of the babies which are very cute great shot :)
ReplyDeleteHi there, I was checking out your blog this morning, it’s very well put together! Real quick I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to put up a small permanent 2-word text link anywhere on the blog (saying something like “climbing gear”) for our site at http://climbinggearinc.com. I know it’s slightly unrelated, but it doesn’t have to be in the way of anything that you post, it could be somewhere on the side or even down at the bottom. In return I want to have you check out any of our stores and pick something that you would like to have, and we’ll ship it out to you for free. Let me know what you think and I’m negotiable if there’s something else that you prefer. Please email me back with any questions you have. Thanks a lot, well appreciated.
