Alexandria Zoo (Egypt), 2007
Taken with camera phone; could someone identify the geese near the centre of the photo with a ring of white around their beaks?

The geese are Swan or Chinese Geese (Anser cygnoides ). Zupu.

Thanks guys - @Zupu: I thought they looked like it but the profile of their heads doesn't look like that of swan geese; also, do swan geese have that white rim around the base of their bills?
Thanks again,

Zupu is right, they are domestic Chinese geese. Some have the white ring, some don't
