Hi Further to Charmaine's report we have had a domestic greylag-type goose at the park all summer long. It is capable of flight and has been hanging with the Canada Geese. I was informed that it was down at Beach 1 this morning. This bird has been mistaken by many as an immature White-fronted Goose but is much larger than that species. This may be the bird Charmaine has seen.
