The four little goslings are already swimming - and they're just two days old. They won't let us get too close now, but we'll soon earn their trust. Hopefully, we can get better close-ups. The goslings are yellow and fluffy, and they hop around along the edge of the pond like jumping beans. .
We’ve just observed that one of the four goslings has a severe limp. His right leg is bent sideways, and unable to sustain weight when he walks, so he limps. This must account for why he appears to be hopping – poor little guy! He lags behind the others when they’re on shore, but while once in the water he swims as well as the others. He favors his dad, while the others stay close to mom.
