Goslings, Geese, Bee + Butterfly Pix

[Barr1e]

Spring has arrived. (Also posted on ft-u.com)

Three Geese have terrorised many walking along the canal near their patch. In fact we have had to bear our share too.

Recently all has been quiet.

Anne and I have watched mother sitting for some while with the two Ganders watching over her. A couple of days ago we were pleased to see the outcome. Excuse branches etc, they are well hidden and we did not want to get too close to them for many reasons.

That third picture is good, shame about the branches though. Liking the bee too.

Nice post

Lovely set of pics.

I especially like the 3rd one (fluffy yellow goslings) and the 'Flutterby' is also a beauty.

Real cute goslings. Hope you can check their progress from time to time.
Have some Bee's and butterflies around the garden but yours are the first pics I have seen this year. Both really good.
