Canada geese were first introduced to the UK in St. James's Park, London, in the 17th century. Today, the UK population is over 150,000 birds! I have seen more of them recently flying over Falmouth's beaches. Earlier this month whilst on Swanpool 2 flocks flew over the beach, so I went to look at the lake, and there they were. This is the first time I personally have seen them there. Have you??
