The first brood of greylags was found yesterday morning - 4 goslings following mother across the wide expanse of western Elney Lake, and they looked terrified by all of that space. They were possibly still inside their egg 24 hours previously, so space must come as a shock. See Kev's picture of them below, or in our gallery.
A pair of Egyptian geese had four goslings with them on Moore Lake this morning - the second consecutive year these geese have bred there. Looking back through county records, it looks as if the first time this species nested in Cambridgeshire was 1988, and that was at Fen Drayton Lakes, when the area was a working sand-and-gravel pit (and digging hadn't even started at Moore Lake).
