Yes, there were about 4 on Molonglo reach being fed by people picnicking in the shore park near Duntroon, and one amongst the Swans at Bowen Park, also being fed! Clearly their continued presence is not under threat! I don't remember seeing them before, but then as I said I have been remise in not paying enough attention up until now. I find modern introductions such as this very strange.

Are you referring to the geese next to the bikepath on Molonglo Reach, just near the rowing boatsheds opposite Duntroon? There's a small flock of them who seem to have taken up permanent residence there - we've been seeing them for a couple of months now, every time we ride on the bikepath that goes past there, which is once or twice a week.

Now to my question. I saw several of what appeared to be Greylag Geese on LBG. They don't appear in birdata.com.au on LBG, and are absent from the Wilson/COG, 1999 list, although the later includes Domestic Goose as an 'unusual bird'. I am wondering if/how local birders record these geese?
