Goosle Goslings: Mrs. Monitors Me

Feel her gaze/glare in large ("L").

I visited the Goosles in the early afternoon: it was rather overcast, but there were moments of sunshine so I got quite varied photos which was fun. I chose this one for its bokeh, and because it shows both colours that the speculums (/specula) go: green on the right-hand-most gosling, and purple in the left-hand-most gosling. Oh, and because Mrs. is v. pretty.

I've put up others (right from here), including an alternative version of this shot.
Highlights:
Different gosling colourations
Mrs. keeps watch (looking v. goofy)
Gosling pile (6 of the 7)
Mr. guards his family
Mr. flapping (he's v. handsome, even when his feathers are patchy)
"Are you a Goosle too?"

There is also a mallard with 5 little ducklings. One is dark brown all over and dives; I think that they might be hybrid mallard/tufted ducklings, although the others look completely normal, so perhaps it is just a peculiar one...
