Great picture, but now I’m curious. What kind of bird is that? Looks like some sort of duck, but I’ve never seen one like that over here in the States.
Thanks for the information. I never heard of an Egyptian Goose before. They might not have made it over to the US, but we are over run with Canada Geese. They are everywhere!
Canadian Geese came to Gemany in the 1970’s. I am not sure I ever saw one. Wikipedia says “Greater Canada Geese have also been introduced in Europe, and have established populations in Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Scandinavia. Semi-tame feral birds are common in parks, and have become a pest in some areas.”

It’s a Egyptian Goose. A common sight at the river banks and in parks. Yes, seems like they never made it to the US.

Sort of an uber-duck for Daniel;-/
I fear Daniel is a little bit on the conservative side with ducks. Only a duck is a duck! ;-)
“uber-duck” :D I love everything from the biological order “anseriformes” Duck, duck, goose! ;-)
