The Wetlands was very quite today, full of people but very few ducks or geese. No sign of my kestrel either. Right at the end I spotted a dappy mallard with lots of ducklings. Sadly she was straying into geese territory and a red breasted goose viciously attacked a chick. A visitor kicked it off and I reported the situation to a warden. Apparantly it is a territorial dispute and happens every year..... Hope they all survive intact!
A Barnacle goose was hidden in the bushes on her nest. She was being protected by a red breasted goose, I don't know if he was her partner.. if so, can't wait to see the chicks!
Errrr, no babies here... but it's a nice photo.
