Have you seen this goose? It’s called Bumps! I wanted to create a pun from the title of this photo, as my mum came up with the title for this picture that I took of the Greylag goose during my travels around the city in the springtime. I thought it was funny to call this photo “BUMPS!” as it highlights the moment that nature gave me goosebumps, especially as my mum suggested the title of the image due to the fact that I’m talking about this goose.

One of the geese I discovered in St. James’s Park in the springtime was the Egyptian Goose. The Egyptian Goose (Alpochen aegyptiaca) is an African member of the Anatidae family, including swans, geese and ducks. The Egyptian Geese, regularly represented in ancient Egyptian art, are ornamental birds due to their popularity, with this species also introduced to the United States, Europe and elsewhere outside their natural range.
