the Goose house

weve decided to hatch some goslings .
So the geese will need somewhere to nest .

We've had broody geese before  - in 2016  and 2014 , for instance ., but we ignored it

So ive made a suitable house for brooding - it needs to be big enough to take a goose and ideally  provide a protected, dark environment .

So  with an old crate  cut in half and some spare metal panneling from the shed, I made something



adn then it needed to be trainsported. Whilst not heavy, its an awkward shape .


and then the geese are hanging around at the top of the field , so we put the box up there

 but in the brush, one of them has started buildign a nest and laid eggs ( here partially covered by moss)

 so we might be a week too late.
other the other goose might devide to use the new palatial accommodation.

Or something
