This project certaily gives a learning curve, never heard of an Egyptian goose, Please excuse my ignorance but how can you tell it's a "he"? :o)

@clive2359 - not sure if you can easily - I didn't specify (I think one of my followers did). The male and female have similar plumage - there were two of them that did indeed look very alike.

Learn somethig new each day, Well here's mine; It seems it's not done by sight, but sound. The males hiss, while the females make a loud cackling call. And still a good shot of a photo.
