These birds pair about the middle of May. Mr. J. 

 Macgillivray has remarked that he saw them "in pairs 

 about the middle of the month, and they had the 

 young fully fledged and strong upon the wing about 

 the end of July." They had again collected into flocks 

 by the beginning of August. 



The eggs are of a pure white colour. Eight were 

 laid by one of these Geese, kept on the water in St. 

 James' Park by the Ornithological Society of London.
