It wasn't that long ago the goose and gander were whispering sweet nothings to each other, posturing with wings and necks and checking out the dating sites. Two days ago, they appeared with FIVE little fluffy goslings.
Yesterday, overcome by confidence, Mom and Dad lead the little ones all the way up across the lawn into the horse pasture. We're not sure why -- it's a long way for little legs to run, should the fox decide to show up.
Mike Baum, from Dorset, snapped this picture of the vixen moving one of her kits. The good news is that is a baby fox she's carrying, and not one of our chickens. Enough said.
