A new visitor to the Gardens

Pete,

Recently we have seen a pair of Egyptian Geese which have taken to feeding in our gardens. I think they may be from the grounds of nearby Eltham Palace as I have also seen a pair flying in that direction. They have been chased off from the Tarn area as I witnessed a big bust-up between two pairs of Egyptian geese there a couple of weeks ago. Presumably, it is more peaceful in the gardens as they have no competition.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
