First Gosling of the Year

I went round the university lakes with Zoe and Liz this afternoon, the first time for several weeks.  There weren't many birds around; maybe they are busy nesting.  Any how, the pair of Egyptian geese had one tiny gosling.  It must have been only a few days old.

We were later told that the gosling hatched out on the Friday so it will have been no more than 2 days old when the picture was taken.
