Watching

Watching me closely, yet not scared as he came quite near to the edge to investigate. He however decided that it was safer on his home ground!

It will be much appreciated if the knowledgeable gents Mr BM or Mr VandeGraaff will come to my aid with the identification of this feathered one.

Thanks goes to M&Z:

Thanks to MissU2 who helped me out of my ignorance!

This is an Egyptian Goose, otherwise known as Kolgans.
