Spring!
May 2, 2022
Year after year the geese here at the farm sit and nothing happens This year the two sisters tried something new -a shared nest, sitting side by side guarded by our huge gander, and it worked: Two perfect gozlings!! sadly when they left the nest next day a third gosling was half out of the egg. I transfered him to my coat pocket for the next day while he 'fluffed up' and with bated breath reintroduced him to the flock. Initially though the gander was pleased and very gentle 'the mothers' were grumpy but a week later all three babies are growing well
Hurrah!!
cheers David
