Gale force SE today - you can effects of the wind on the water. It's been blowing for the past 3 days now.
Mama Egyptian Goose is sheltering out of the wind with her 2 chicks. Her gander is "Limpy" who hasn't been here this morning. We presume he was injured in a territorial fight - this is the second time now. The first time his leg was slightly injured but this time we thought he'd lost the use of it, but time has healed and its a lot better. The foot still hangs under the leg, but he's managing much better. Their first clutch of eggs realised 7 goslings, with 3 gone missing during one night and the four went another. Now they're trying to raise a second clutch this summer. We've seen a family of otters in the Pond, and we reckon that's where the chicks go.
