Geese and a parenting fail

We spotted the goslings a few days ago , and have been keeping an eye on them from a distance.

the adults went off to have a splash in a falt bit of the burn.

and the goslings tried to follow - and got stuck between the clumps of grass, and unablt to get out.

  So they clearly can't be left to their own devices.

One of the chick runs has been brought  out of storage .

 And at least the  goose and the goslings wont go their separate ways  until the little ones are a bit bigfger and can fend for themselves .
