A selection of photos and a bit of footage of the many Greylag geese families that were at Pensthorpe nature reserve in Noroflk.

At the end of the Geese footage i have added a short clip of a Ruddy Shelduck that made me :giggle: I think the noises they make are so funny! ... Sorry about the noise of the wind on that bit though! :(

Unlike last year when the majority of ggoslings were Canada geese this year they were all Greylags :shrug: Maybe they breed a bit later than Greylags?

Aww! lovely footage of the goslings Julie, they're so cute, and those Ruddy ducklings did make me :giggle: I agree they do make a very strange/funny sound.

Brilliant photos too. :clap3:

Great photos and footage Julie. That is a large brood. Hope they all survive. Nice to see the shelducks that close up, they do make a funny noise, have never heard them before.
