Benji Says “Happy Easter RedBubblers” by

Hatched on Good Friday this Greylag goslings and his two siblings are the first hatchlings of the year at the University of York. I first saw Benji and the others on Easter Sunday and this photo was taken on Easter Monday when they were just three days old. I named this one Benji as it was the first cute name I thought of.

    Magnifient Aardi every little minute feathered detail & look at those feet!

    Into may faves ♥

  • Many thanks Tai and happy Easter. I think this photo may prove to be a winner but it was hard work. In two days I took over sixty photos of him and his siblings and last night I narrowed the photos down to five. I’ll put them on disk for you.
