Yes, a second gosling has joined the gaggle this season. Sister One went off to nest under the bathroom window and sat on two eggs. One hatched. She has continued to sit on the other still so the gaggle have taken over the baby for daytimes. So far junior is three days old and still waddling about while three geese and two ganders guard it ferociously – heaven help any burglars. Friends and family are safer since the gaggle abserve that they are with me (legal) and mostly ignore them. But if that second egg hasn’t hatched by the end of the week, it will be going out and Sister One can darn well look after her own gosling.
And Again – a gosling.
