After sorting some things out for mum I had a window of opportunity for an impromptu walk at Trench middle pool which was on my way home.
I parked my car in such a way that I needed to open the door to the full extent to avoid stepping into a puddle and half way round the walk I encountered mud. It was at this point I wished I had thought of donning the walking shoes which were in my car. I successfully negotiated the mud but as I neared my car after my walk a car pulled up next to my car. It wasn’t close but it was too close for me to open my car door wide enough to negotiate the puddle.
I lingered a while watching the car occupants feeding the birds, hoping that they didn’t go for a walk afterwards. Thankfully they didn’t and after they left, I was able to get back in my car avoiding the puddle.
Later we visited mum and took her the things she had requested, apart from the mobile phone charger. I had searched all round the house in places I thought it might be to no avail…
Did you not see any goslings?
I came across quite a few a couple of weeks ago.
Mainly from Egyptian geese though.
No baby fluff balls to be seen!
