Starting from number one there are five new photographs on the Photo Page.
ALL TAKEN IN THE NEW FOREST ON OUR WAY HOME FROM DORSET. LYNNE.
The Geese are practicing to fly a lot through the day. This morning encouraged by the Goose and Gander all six Goslings were a couple of feet off of the surface of the Lake for at least half of the length. One of our Holiday Guests who has been fishing told us that they have been practicing a lot through the day.
The Geese have caused me a lot of extra work. The Goslings have never survived for long after hatching, either being killed by a Fox or Otter, so have never experienced eight Geese getting in and out of the Lake over a prolonged period and it has caused a lot of erosion on the left hand far side from what you are able to see on the webcam. It was getting so bad I have needed today to put a timber support along the eroded area and back fill with stone to stop it getting any worse. We have a problem on that side of the Lake with the erosion that the Stream is causing. In parts the Lake edge is within six foot of the Stream bank and where we have repaired today is one of the places. The Geese are a bit wary of the work we have done. They will soon get use to it and will no doubt be in and out of the Lake at that point even before we put soil on the repair.
A bit more about the Beaver.
