We can see a goose overlooking clean waters of Thames River, apparently early hours in the day. Clear blue skies, early summer clouds, majestic London bridge, crystal waters and a Goose – is the picture perfect of a nature in it s elements!

Egyptian goose are originally from Africa, but they spread to northwards, up to Germany. In early days, people used to keep these mostly terrestrial birds in rivers, ponds and lakes as ornamental life. Over the time,, their population grew phenomenally. In most European countries, they are commonly sighted in water bodies. These birds thrive on seeds, nuts, small locust and worms.
Can we hope to see such a bird photo on the banks of our Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad sometimes soon?
