Everytime I see the geese running off to her nest I think, I wish I'd set the camera up for that! So this time I did. And this is what was filmed. Very exciting footage of the egg actually being laid. The goose could so easily have been facing the other way, but as it happens she was perfect. A star, no less. And it answers once and for all the old question of which end comes out first -- the pointy end or the roundy end.
I thought it was worth putting this film up because it shows how wonderful the geese are, how interesting their habits are, and also how eggs arrive - and we don't see that everyday. So maybe you'd share this video - for the entertainment and education of young and old.
I expect her to finish the nest and sit on the eggs when she has 10 of them, or so. But that could take a while because the dog has stolen a couple and they only arrive every two days. I'll let you know how things go..
