Title: Id assistance please.
Post by: Anonymous on June 11, 2006, 08:41:06 PM

I saw this goose following a Canada goose in the Newcastle harbour a couple of weeks ago. I have tried to id it but have come up empty. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Art,

Looks like a escapee, probably a Swan (Chinese) Goose according to my Sibley's.

Thanks very much for the reply and info Kin. Much appreciated. If this is an escapee, any idea where it may have escaped from?
