A sad day , late morning and they are nearly all gone, having counted up to 70 birds on the steading roof in the last week we now have 5 fledglings and one adult left , one of the fledglings is from another brood (
yes I did shed a tear ).
I do so miss them when they're gone the end of another summer , the haylage is in ,the wood is cut for the winter and beyond , enough propane for a couple of years, spare fuel for the generator and freezers full of the gardens bounty, with yet still more to come.
And then this evening the first of the geese arrive , as My old friend Derwent May said, its all part of a natural calendar that has no dates.
All I need to do now is get the legs working , but even that's beyond my DIY skills , so I'm told....
Roll on next April , I'll be waiting
Sorry its a bit of a ramble, just tired and emotional
