Day 172/365: Goslings

[nanila]

Since the news has been even more of a dumpster fire than usual this week, what with MPs shooting themselves in the foot over a meaningful Brexit vote and the worldwide ill-treatment of refugees, I bring you a post consisting entirely of fluffy gosling photos.


Cuddle party!


Grooming time.


Going for a swim.

Gooses!

There's a forest reserve area near my house. Geese nest near the lake, and bring their little ones up to the lawn around an old hospital to graze. On the road between, there's a sign that says "goose crossing." A certain someone when when she moved in thought that was a joke, until she saw traffic stopped while a big family of goslings and their parents crossed the road.

Very important to respect the goose crossing, yes!

Thank you. Geese are absolutely my favourite birds ever. I really wish I was allowed to have them here. It's about the only reason I'd be willing to move house, if I could move somewhere I could have geese.

[nanila]

You're welcome. These geese have moved on up toward the reservoir now. The goslings seem to grow as you're watching them!

Awwwww! :o)

[nanila]

So much fluff! :D

Fluffy baby goosels! \o/

[nanila]

Yes! So snuggly.

Thank you, I needed this.

You're welcome. I needed to revisit this picture after the news today.

Waiting for the bus home today, there was a small group of geese with their goslings! They were so cute, even though the adults kept giving me these head flicks that were, to me, clearly saying "Get the fuck out of our way!" XD

[nanila]

Yes, the wrath of a full-grown goose is not something I incur wittingly!

Fluffy geese. Hopefully less ill-tempered than fruit fully fledged friends.

Very fluffy and bimbly. They have only one interest (food) and are therefore not nearly as aggressive as the adults!
