What a nice story. So pleased you stopped to help the gosling......it would not have stood a chance with the artic looming down on it. I hope it makes a full recovery.
Some years ago, a lovely wild goose landed here at the farm. She made her home in the old goose shed and lived happily with the hens. One day she disappeared, but re appeared the following day. Later found out some local boys had picked her up, taken her to the village butchers and tried to sell her. Butcher, realising she was a pet, made the boys fetch her back.
Unfortunately, a few years later, some wild geese went over, we are near reservoirs and lakes, so plenty about. Dorcas, felt the call of the wild and disappeared into the sunset with her new friends. We were all very sad, but in a way, happy she was with her own kind.
