Pictures of Baby Birds

I'm a keen birdwatcher and photographer and I'm lucky enough to live near the Leeds to Liverpool canal bringing all it's wildlife close to hand. This page features a selection of funny bird photos made into a little fun story. In this photo journal you will find a whole story packed into a few photographs. I've tried to get out of the way and let the goslings tell their own story.

This delightful little family of Embden geese and goslings appeared on Greenhill recently. Parent geese teach by example. In this instance both adults leapt into the canal from the high bank. It may only be about 3 feet high but for a wee gosling that is a long way down. The goslings made it to the water after huming and hawing for a bit. After a short swim around, (the goslings staying close to the female's side), the parents led the way back up the steep banking - another chore for little legs, even using stubs of wings to help. There were a couple of tumbles back down but eventually they made it.

I hope you enjoy your visit, be sure to give us a tick if you do, like it to facebook or leave a comment. Scroll right down to find a wonderful selection of cards and gifts featuring these cute characters. Click on the polaroid pictures to visit the goslings (minus the captions) in my Zazzle store.

These pictures were taken with my camera of choice a Nikon D90.
