Alopochen aegyptiacus
Normally predominately found in Norfolk, there is a large breeding colony found in and around Attenborough nature reserve in Beeston, Nottingham. Dark ring around eyes, white underbelly with pale beak and legs. Rarely makes any sound.
Wetland, marsh, rivers and canals..
Thankyou, I love these birds and they're very new to me. I'd never seen one until a month or so again, but they live in the nature reserve next to my boat so I see the same mating couple every day :)
