One, two and now three different sets of the West Park greylag geese have now hatched goslings. The first to emerge, six, seem to get bigger every day. The next trio are following in their footsteps. The third set, of four, were possibly just one day old when these pictures were taken.
When I first arrived, all three families were in the same general area, on the lake shore near the bandstand. But someone got a bit too close. The adult birds led the goslings on to the water, to move to a quieter spot. Two of the families got out opposite the Conservatory and on to the nearest patch of grass. The other one sailed under the bridge to a more distant spot.
