Rather a baby Egyptian Goose (the one with the darkly-circled eyes). A family with four young-uns were being fed scraps of bread, some pieces larger than others, requiring contortions and dedication to get them down…
There once was an ugly duckling….

The Egyptian ducks are so striking. Are you still at Petersham?
Reblogged this on Living in East Sheen and commented:
I think the Egyptian Geese are so striking don’t you?
They don’t look too friendly, but quite striking as you say. Yes, I’m still at Petersham and on days like this, how lovely is that!
Its like Narnia to me hehe
