The IBM goslings have hatched!

Yesterday I was out for a walk, and I was almost attacked by a Canadian goose: a female protecting her babies. I wasn’t even that close to them! I was just like, hey — I’m on your side. I’ve got the Canadian heritage, homeslice. I understand what it’s like when everybody laughs at you for being partially French, and then tries to eat your babies.

Here is photo proof that the goslings do exist, and I don’t just go around pissing off animals for fun:

Baby geese!

SO cute! I was inside the building looking out a window when I took this, so they didn’t know I was there. Pretty sweet, huh?

I was bitten by a goose once. Some boys were annoying it and throwing stuff at it, so it got mad and came after the closest person which happened to be me because the boys ran away like little girls.

lovely, in winchester every year we are treated to families of swans, the parents seem so proud as long as you keep your distance

Swans are really very beautiful, but they can be so nasty if you get in their way!
