Barnacle Geese

Four broods of Barnacle Geese so far from Blunham Lake, 15th May 2015

Was at Roxton, 4th June 2007, photographing Scarce Chasers, when these Barnies with two juvvies came sailing downstream along the Ouse from Roxton Lock. Difficult enough to count them if they stay on the lakes! I suspect we miss a few broods every year, would explain their rapid increase.

To celebrate the appearance of the Bedfordshire Barnies in Herts today here is a recent picture from Willington. (ok I am just learning how to post on here and had nothing more suitable !)
