Gorgeous Goslings

Posted on April 20, 2021 by beestonbirdman

En route for an appointment yesterday (19th) I walked through Nottingham University Park (Highfields) and the wildlife was a sight to behold. I took so much time clicking away with my camera that I was nearly late for my appointment. 😦 Here is a selection exclusively concerning Egyptian geese. Other species seen will form the basis of the next posting on the blog 🙂

There were five goslings in all zooming around the lake (near the stepping stones for those familiar with Highfields) but they were so active that I could not get all of them in one shot. The video clip below shows how their large webbed feet enable them to pick up quite a bit of speed.

Meanwhile the adults concentrated on having a jolly good bathe.

Finally a shot of an unrelated bird in flight. Not something at which I excel but this is an acceptable attempt 😉
