We've had a goose sitting tight on a clutch of eggs for nearly a fortnight. This lunchtime I noticed she wasn't on the nest, though she had been first thing this morning. She had gone through into the next field and was with the other geese. I thought mayvbe she was taking a break, getting a bit of a feed, and everything would be ok. So I thought I'd take a sneaky peek in the nest while she was away just to check. The nest was undisturbed and the top lightly covered in straw and feathers just as you might expect. But there wasn't a single egg in it! Before she went broody there were 17! All gone! No sign of any disturbance and the nest was just as if she'd been sitting in it. I'm puzzled, annoyed, dissapointed, frustrated and thoroughly pissed off to say the least.
