Egyptian Goose swimming at leisure on the dam. What I love most about these birds is when they come in to land on the water it looks like if they are water skiing.
All comments and views are much appreciated.
Thank you kindly for visiting my blog.

That would be a great photo opportunity - them landing. This is a great picture with the various colors in teh water sort of matching the goose.
