This time, when we spotted the West Park Canada goose goslings they were on the opposite shore of the lake. They were right by the bank, and the lakeside footpath, busy feeding.
We were headed that way. As we got nearer, we started discussing whether we could make a diversion to avoid disturbing them. But then a couple came along the path in the other direction.
The adult birds got the goslings into the water for safety, and led them swimming, still close to the shore, right by us.
As soon as we left the area, they were all back on dry land again, with the goslings back to eating steadily.
