Grown Up Gosling!

See Mrs. peering at her progeny in large.

The day started off grey and slightly misty, and it is now worse.
Oh well, the Goosles don't mind, and they were on good form this morning, although Mrs. was on high alert for some reason. The goslings seem so mature now: their 'little wings' are now surprisingly large, and they've definitely reached the leggy 'little dinosaur' phase.

I was torn over what to blip, so have uploaded several to Flickr (right from here).
