During January, 2012 two Egyptian Geese have become regular visitors to St. Mary's church! This goose is in the Shelduck subspecies of the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae and is a largely terrestrial species readily perching on trees and buildings. This pair seem to enjoy loafing around on the ridge of the church's main roof.
