Egyptian geese at Kenridge Dam
We went down to Kenridge Dam this evening for a mini-outing, just before sunset. We haven’t been to this particular dam for quite some time, and I was stunned to see how tall the reeds have become and how much of the dam is now being taken up by them. They must be covering at least three-quarters of the dam already – I can’t imagine that this is good for the dam’s eco-system. These Egyptian geese looked quite happy waddling around on the banks though, so I’m guessing it’s not affecting them too much (yet).
And what a contented family they look – very nice capture Kerry-Ann
Nice photo, ducklings, goslings always make for a good subject. It is the middle of winter here in Yorkshire, snow today, so it will be a while yet before I can take such a photo.
These Egyptian geese are a seriou problem for golf course’s.How do we get rid of them permantly, as they destroy our greens and tee boxes.
