What A Disappointment

[wendilla]

I have just seen an egg in the nest that the geese have taken over at RUTLAND WATER so looks like we wont be watching the OSPREYS there this year .

[Tilly2]

When and if the ospreys return, wendi, that egg will be turfed out.

[wendilla]

yes Tilly I wondered if that would happen .

[Tilly2]

Lots of chat on here, Wendi. Apparently, those geese are actually ducks. :-)

I hope to have a run over there this year its a few years since I have been . Just takes about 30 mins or even less .

You should be fine for osprey watching, Wendi......five males and five females there now with more expected......☺

[gness]

Both geese on the nest now.......playing roll the egg....☺

Have the Egyptian geese laid the egg? They've been hanging around for the last 2 weeks or so.

[gness]

One sitting on the egg now, Melv.....x

[melv16]

Looks like it's going to get duffed-up when the osprey gets back:-)

[melv16]

Crisis over. 2 crows are scoffing the egg!

[gness]

Oh my! Where did the goose go...did you see?

[melv16]

I logged on when the goose had flown.

Lovely weather at Manton Bay, tonight.

[melv16]

Same weather here, Tilly. Been out walking on the moors this morning & saw nowt:-(

[Tilly2]

The trick is not to take your bins. If you have them, you see nowt. If you don't take them, you see loads. ( from a distance)

[melv16]

*** law was written by me, Tilly:-)

[melv16]

The Egyptian goose is incubating an eaten egg:-)

[Tilly2]

Daft duck!

[melv16]

Tilly. You must remember Tich & Quackers?

[Tilly2]

No, melv. I don't. :-)
