| Abstract: | The article presents all known observations of the introduced Egyptian Goose Alopochen aegyptiacus made in Slovenia till the end of 2011. In Feb 2005, and eventually on 2 and 8 Mar 2008, a single individual was observed at Renče Clay Pits in the Vipava Valley while on 28 Oct 2010 two individuals were recorded only 2 km away at the confluence of the Lijak Stream and Vipava River (UTM UL98, SW Slovenia). The authors of the article presume that these individuals were escapees from the nearby pond situated along the Keramix factory at Volčja draga, where Egyptian Geese have been bred for a number of years as ornamental animals. On 8 Aug 2011, one individual was recorded on the bank of Ljubljanica River at Moste, Ljubljana (UTM VM60, Central Slovenia); in this case, too, an individual from captivity (E category) was presumably observed, judging by its unsuspicious behaviour. Apart from these records, a single individual was registered on 29 Mar 2008 at Rački Ponds (UTM WM54, NE Slovenia). Considering the circumstances of the above observations, as well as increase and expansion of the naturalised population north of the Alps, the authors infer that this individual belonged to the above mentioned population and that it should thus be most appropriately included, in the list of birds registered in Slovenia, in the category of species occurring as vagrants from naturalized populations abroad (C5). |
