Hi Sarah, and welcome to WAB. Your avatar looks like an Egyptian Goose, as far as I can see. There's some threads on how to upload, or go to the Gallery, or Images and click on upload and see what it says. The criteria are stricter for Gallery photos than the Images library. |

Looks like an Egyptian Goose Alopochen aegyptiaca to me, this is an African species but there is a large feral population breeding on the Norfolk Broads.
There are some hints on uploading pictures on the help page. Welcome to WAB.

Agree Egyptian Goose. These days they are common in quite a few places- they are now widespread around the London area; i also see them in north Norfolk, Rutland Water + I'm sure other places too. |

Its some sort of goose. Not natural native or migrant,so probably ornamental or hybrid. Cant confirm it's an Egyptian goose without a clear photo.

Not native, but fully naturalised as much as a Canada Goose. No doubt about it's identity to me. |

I'd agree this is an Egyptian Goose too, if you enlarge the pic the markings fit perfectly.
