Eagle Pond: Fledgling in Flight

More encouraged/encouraging in large.

Well, I'm now sure that the largest one can fly, although it had a[n un]fair amount of rather aggressive encouragement from Mr.
He took issue with the largest fledgling (while all three little Goosles were practising  synchronised grazing), chasing it around persistently while the other two kept their heads down... It kept circling back around to the other two, but Mr. was having none of it.
Mr. and Mrs. did a triumph ceremony after he successful drove off the fledgling (pro tem.); she doesn't really mind them at all, but humoured him.

My other shots are on Flickr here (or right from "urban Goosles") including several amusing series of chases/flights (inc. right from here)..
