Egyptian Goose chick

The Egyptian Goose is native to Africa, especially the Nile Valley in Egypt and south of the Sahara desert.

In Western Europe, this bird was introduced in the 18th century with well established feral populations as result (especially in Belgium, The Netherlands and England) but an Egyptian Goose chick is still a not everyday appearance.

Dutch name : Nijlgans
German name : Nilgans
Latin name : Alopochen aegyptiacus
