The Egyptian Goose is a distinctive and often noisy waterfowl with a mix of brown, grey, and white plumage, a dark eye patch, and pink legs. It's an African species that has established feral populations elsewhere.
Where to spot
Native to sub-Saharan Africa and the Nile Valley. Widespread feral populations exist in parts of Europe, especially the UK and Netherlands, and increasingly in North America. Found in various wetland habitats and open grassy areas.
How to spot
Look for its unique combination of dark eye patches, white wing patches visible in flight, and pink legs. Listen for its loud, raucous honking and hissing calls, which are quite distinct from other waterfowl.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in areas with established populations. Breeding typically occurs in spring, but can be protracted depending on local conditions.

Despite its goose-like appearance, the Egyptian Goose is taxonomically more closely related to shelducks and is considered an intermediate species between geese and ducks.
