Well, it was a pasture and now there are no cows on it, so the grass grows. we´re slowly cutting it back and the grass is slowly changing to grass that the geese prefer, but they do eat this sort of grass when it´s freshly shooting. It´s well nibbled all along the stream. The geese like to go on safari in it, they never know when they might meet a muscovy!Look at all that grass, boy I bet they are some happy geese.
As you can see from this pic the grass is changing where we´re cutting it back.
This is the family, I took the pic a week ago, consisting of the 6-wk-old gosling that was the first one that I brought up to the house after the other 2 had died, with the little 2-wk-old one that hatched from the nest that had the broken egg. Two singleton goslings that have become a family. This is the goose that hatched it, she´s now broken from her nest addiction and is doing a good job. And the younger gosling is now more attached to her than to me, very good. However the tiny one remains very easy to pick up, and it´s good and chunky too, and the parents don´t mind, whereas the other one is a just little wary, having been that bit older when I started to look after it. A week after taking this photo, and they´re doing well, growing fast. When I want to get them in, I go down there with lettuce, and the goslings leave the parents standing! So rewarding.
