Three greylag goose families, West Park

There’s now three sets of greylag geese on West Park lake which have produced goslings this year.

When I noticed them, they were all resting on the shore of the lake. Two of the three families seemed to be together, with the third some distance away but still all within sight of one another.

Hawthorn shield bug. This one was resting on my bag – there had been a lot of hawthorns in flower where I had been walking.
