Goose Shapes on Long Pond

More peaceful in large.
Back blip


I was back in London for the weekend, and swung by Clapham Common to check in on the Goosles. I'd heard that there were lots of interloper Egyptian geese about; they get the Goosles all riled up as they try to defend their patch... There were indeed interlopers, and I found the Goosles on Mount Pond with Mr. chuntering from the top of the mount, and only once coming down to chase after all the various would-be-Goosles.
I'm not sure why they're on Mount Pond rather than Eagle Pond, but there are no Egyptian geese on Eagle Pond so perhaps they don't feel challenged there.

I've uploaded a few other photos to Flickr (right from here), although only got a few unsatisfactory ones of Mr. because he was mostly mooching on the Mount with Mrs. (who didn't come down at all).
Highlights:
Mr. looking livid
Shovelers on Eagle Pond
