I saw my first Egyptian Geese at Lakenheath Fen RSPB Reserve last May;
beautiful bird, I must say. I mentioned the sighting to the reserve staff
and was told about 70 pairs of Egyptian Geese are established in Norfolk and
Suffolk. They are cavity nesters and breed earlier than the resident Tawny
Owls (and non-native Little Owls) out-competing them for nest sites. They
are not a welcome addition to the English avifauna.
