Re:
Thanks for your comment as always, CCT. But this wasn't a case of what we normally call 'Nature' doing what comes 'naturally' - it was a case of 'Human Nature' acting destructively! Only humans could have carried off the eggs without breaking them, and possibly even the geese, without leaving a trace of blood...

Sadly it is nature Naut only this morning I found trail of downy feathers that led to a newly killed pigeon that has a nest in the holly tree. Of course it feels sad for you after all your photos and observation. It does seem strange that all vanished I think maybe tragedy affect one of them and instinct has impelled its mate to move to safety.

I hope the parents managed to re-locate and will create another
clutch of eggs in a more protected location. I'm imagining some thoughtless kid(s) who resented being challenged by the gander taking vengeful action. Pity there's not more appreciation for life and beauty. Hugs, Naut...

That's horrible. One can't even enjoy the beauties and wonders of nature without someone perverted ruining it. So sorry.

As you say just one more tragedy in a horrible week and in their life it was just as tragic for the geese as for us in our world. I feel real pain inside me.

My eyes are beginning to well up... They did nothing to hurt anyone; innocents - like those in Manchester and elsewhere. Why? Why these sweet birdies. Sickening and sad, and shocking! so very sorry.

awwwwww.... what could have happened?? I get very cautious when I see geese crossing the road because they are always in twos and I worry for them that they'll get split up or one will get hit... and then they'll be so lonely.
Your news has made me very sad. I'm sorry for your loss...
