Egyptian Goose, Denhall 10th October 2019


An Egyptian Goose turned up at Denhall on 1st October 2019, first reported via Wirral Birders WhatsApp group. I popped over there earlier today to take a look.

At first I was unable to locate the Egyptian Goose, but it then appeared at the back of the near flooded area on the left, working its way along a fenceline & disappearing at times or with just its head & neck visible.

A female/immature type Hen Harrier glided past whilst I was searching for the Egyptian Goose. The harrassing calls of a group of Crows alerted me. They continued to harrass the Harrier, which seemed to take little notice, flicking left and right until the Crows lost interest. The Hen Harrier headed towards Burton Point and out of view.
