Aww, top marks for cuteness. They seem to be quite early this year (?) I thought it would be another few weeks before chicks began to appear. Lovely pics Mucks.

Yep, last year it was Easter Friday when we seen the first chicks @ MM

Loads more to come judging by the amount of nesting going on ...

Cute pix Mucks

This is the BBC Pic of the day for today, on a similar theme:

Caption:A black swan in Dawlish, Devon, watches over its recently hatched cygnets.

Very nice Mucks

There are lots of geese around here, but I've not seen any little goslings around yet. Looking forward to when there are, but not trying to walk pass all the very protective geese! (they have a habit of trying to nibble you when walking past!)
