species, alien, non-native, goose ...

Canada geese Branta candensis are now the biggest geese species found in Britain, and now probably the most common species found in urban parks. They are native to North America, and there are 9 or 10 subspecies, which show differences in size, patterns of colouration and in range.

Pumpkinseed fish ( Lepomis gibbosus )

species, alien, fish, factfile ...

I thought I would start the series with some thing many people in the UK may not have heard of, unless of course you’re an angler, the Pumpkinseed fish.

Some of the American readers may recognise it as it is native to Southern Canada and the USA.
