It was good to see the Emporer geese again. Also the Swangeese.
The incubator rearing rooms were occupied this trip.
Personally, I would prefer the mum ducks to raise their own brood, but at least these babes looked healthy, if not natural.
Mummy moorhen had her own babes with her.
We watched them stroll and peck around the wildflower meadow.
The trumpeters were not back on their lake, and I wondered if the sole survivor had been given a new home and new mate or was still in the former diving birds cage.
The sand martens were busy flying and diving into their nesting holes though.
It's nice to see all those babies. They probably want to keep them in the incubators until a certain age to ensure their survival and then hand them over to the moms. They must be trying to build up the population.
ReplyDeleteYes....but i think it sad the moms cant do it all themselves....
ReplyDeleteMaybe they will when there's a stable population.
ReplyDeletewe will have to wait and see
