'you won't find one laying this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'tag geese wandering around river' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'river' becomes 'r'.
'tag'+'geese'='taggeese'
'taggeese' with letters rearranged gives 'easteegg'.
'easteegg' placed around 'r' is 'EASTER EGG'.
