After a stint of damp grey weather, we got a nice treat of our first crop of goslings this morning. I noticed the adult out back and was surprised to see she had a baby poking out from underneath her.
As I watched the youngsters quietly, a couple of braver ones headed out, and were soon joined by four others. Mom/or Dad joined them on the grass, keeping an eye on me.Pretty soon, all were foraging and I left snuck away, with plans to watch them in the days ahead. I hope they avoid the local cats and other predators – it is a tough environment in which to survive.
