The GooseEggProtector canopy

A raven took some goose eggs back here .

It continues to disturb the nest . So SOMETHING MUST BE DONE

And the something is some protection

And the nest is still accessible 

and something to discourage coming in from the side !

But will the goose also be put off from laying in the same place ?

It appears not !

Geese

We've got a couple of geese.  One of them went AWOL a while ago  and has been spotted occasionally on the moorland.

And the other one has a nest.  last year the goose tried to incubate a plate .
this year the remaining goose has a nest  but  isn't sitting on  anything this year

The one on the moor may come back sometime .  This one will get fed up of sitting on nothing and start hanging around again with the ducks .

Hanging round with the ducks.

One of the geese is broody as  indicated here . We have 2 geese and the other one has been a bit forlorn, going round by herself. Prior to going broody , the geese were always spotted going round together.

But all is not lost - the one goose has found some new friends -  the ducks.

She has been spotted hanging round with the ducks, going exploring with the ducks and grazing with the ducks.  I dont know if Albert has tried to welcome her as  duck, but if so we haven't seen or heard any of that sort of activity .





So the solitary goose and the ducks has have been spotted together.

 












Meanwhile , back a the nest , the other goose continues to sit on half a plate and a small garden ornament. We've not found any goose eggs in any nest for quite a while .

But the nest has been slowly slipping down the embankment and is in imminent danger of disintegrating and ending up on the path.
 What will the sitting goose do when the nest falls apart ?

Who knows .
