We walked round the park this morning and we have another brood of 4 goslings.
This photo shows a good comparison in size of sparrow to goslings to adults!
The little family took to the water as we approached.
As we turned the corner, the new three were on the bank, and on the opposite side of the path was our original two broods of seven.
These adults are used to people and I was allowed to get quite close to take this photo of the 12 curled up together. Aren’t they gorgeous?
No sign of the ducklings again today, but we were quite early going out.
Mr and Mrs Mallard have been on our front lawn again though. I took these through the window this morning too.
Wonder what they make of the gates?

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

We saw the Canada Geese and their goslings also a week ago when my daughter took us to the Rododendrin Garden in Portland. They are darling.
We saw all four broods today…… the first two batches of seven are huge compared to the latest . The four and three have also joined ranks, .
We also saw a new batch of 8 ducklings this morning. They are too small to be the first brood of 11 I photographed.
Wow. take more photos.
We saw a lot of goslings and mamas gathering in a large green patch for the rhododendron seeds to fall on and feed the geese and goslings.
I shall indeed. They are so sweet,
You’re lucky to be close to them.
The geese don’t seem to mind us (or the dog) now and provided we don’t rush, they are content to stay put, so i can get my photos (though I do talk to them all the time).
I know, I try to be still and quiet when I take photos of animals.
I talk to them all the time, even when not taking photos, so they’re used to us.
That’s wonderful. Do they fly?
They do indeed, right over our house, as do the ducks.
So cute and so much serenity everywhere. Nice pictures
Thank you. The park is lovely, especially in the sunshine.
Yes must surely be
