Goslings In A Huddle
The arrival of the Canada Geese heralds spring here in the north. And these goslings in a huddle promise all the hope, renewal, and joy of new life in this season of rebirth.
Of course there is always a rebel in each family and this little guy seemed to have a lot to say as I approached his nesting siblings.

lovely shot – I live in North East Scotland and the geese gather here before heading for you. Great to see them waiting in the fields for migration and flying overhead.
Never seen the young as they don’t breed here – fantastic shot!

Great shot Joanne!! If several of them didn’t have their heads up you would hardly be able to tell what they are. They are hudled together so tightly!!
Joanne Bradley replied
At the time, I was thinking it would make a great mystery texture shot and this little guy shot his head up on my approach and warned the others! :-)
