Magpie Geese and Chicks

[wigz]

Or is that goslings.

I went down to Eagleby Wetlands this morning and found that the Magpie Geese had hatched their eggs. I managed to get a few shots before they disappeared into the vegetation. I wasn't hopeful of seeing them as I believe they leave the nest soon after hatching. Also the references I checked state that two females will often share a nest.

Beautiful captures wigz. Showing off nature at it's best. Very large family and I hope their survival rate is good.

Thanks all for your comments. I will try for more but they have a lot of space to hide in.

Two fantastic images Alan. Another case of being in the right place at the right time.
