Disappearing Canada geese goslings but an interesting culprit.

      Canada geese with 2 remaining chicks from 4.
            Very vulnerable with the fellow in the pic
           below hanging around.
    Hooded/ Carrion crow already taken 2 of the chicks
                                        Also likes bread
           Interesting markings and a real bruiser of a bird

                                       Face to face

  I know birders should,nt like squirrels but I do.
  This one was at the top of the Dailies

Cllr Paul Cromie has been watching the progress of a pair of Canada geese which built a nest on the island of his garden pond and hatched 4 young.
All was well until the above crow arrived on the scene quickly taking 2 of the young in one day.
A sickened Paul, his wife Linda and mother Rita are now on patrol hoping to save the other 2 goslings, not an easy task. Paul has already has to return the 2 young to the pond after they fell over the banking and down some stairs.
I went down at lunch time and managed to see the crow on the banking by the pond which has very interesting markings nearly like a hybrid Hooded/ Carrion
Watch this space for the end results.

A lunch time check today of Old Guy Road and the Dailie fields was poor with a few Mipits and Swallows and still no sign of Wheatear on the cricket pitch.
