Everything's getting bigger...
mmmm - look at those pork chops!!
Jube the gosling is living full time outside now, eating grass like Juicy and Lucy, and looking like a real goose. He/she seems to grow an inch every day. Even the soft yellow down is starting to turn white on his/her backside though there's no sign of feathers yet...
Training in the ways of goose v dog. Barney is pretty nervous of them as he gets pecked even through the wire netting...
But there's a sad end to the tale of two young green woodpeckers that decided to leave their nest in the poplar tree. They flapped around on the ground all day yesterday squawking and trying to attract their parents attention, but today there is no sign of them. One (at least) is still left in the tree and is being fed, but I can't help feeling sad about the likely outcome of the other two. They were so cute and defenceless. Nature seems so cruel sometimes :(
