Thread: Geese and swan

well i was cruisin out that way yesterday and the bromley poo ponds had waves ya could surf on .out &about 3-4old swans all of who seemed to be makin tough going of it!mongrel easterly was colder than an anacondas grin., but i did pick me up some more warm camo gear .
was gonna take the binos to look for her worship, the mayor comrade lianne in striking red socialist bikini with russian tigerstripe camo thigh waders ,but (un)lucky for me i forgot em!Imagine the size of the goosebumps through binos let alone the puppies!!!!!

Only five prime eaters now Kotuku - but they look to be doing well along with another pair and their four young - also living with a pair of Parries and their three young

all good tucker providing ya nurture them fella.Me old dad used to reckon a plumpflapper parrie was the best eatin of all.actually these parent geese dont look that old either.

We have a lonesome goose that must be 20 years plus living in our creek. Bet that bastard would be as tuff as old boots.

ya could be right dundee.if those bloody strainer post eels you keep showin us are givin him a wide birth .

Sorry boys but down south it's gooses. As in:

Where are the gooses?
When will the gooses come?
Why have the gooses forsaken us?

Sorry guys, but the offshore pipeline has been back in action for a few years now after the earthquake(I had to help locate it for the dive team inspection in mid/late 2012 - put the shotline right on top of the diffuser too!). While some will get into the estuary, currently this would be less than 1% of the total outflow of the plant(seepage).

NOt sure how many dogs shit is Forsyth though, heard the perch fishing is going off out there anyway!

I guess if CIAL read that article, they might want to consider if their money has been well spent.............

Sadly it's still leaking out of all the broken pipes before it reaches the treatment plant.

Send them this way, I love Canada goose meat, I rate it better than Venison and that's saying something.

She isn’t sad or lonely - but she doesn’t look that motivated to nest - I just can’t find mallards with ducklings round here



These were not lonely or motivated to breed either



The only birds that I see round here that are motivated to breed are Canada’s and Parries - four pair of Canada’s and goslings and one pair of Parries with three young on this wee sediment pond now - wow - they can grow fast -

Clean green NZ yea right.

Seen the first four canadian geese in the local district tonight ever. Apart from the lonesome one that lives at the creek have never seen them in the wild before. Good times too come I hope. Seen a few on the town settling ponds last year but seeing them this close to home rocks!

Did have to stop the vehicle on the way to town again tonight as daisy duck and her followers crossed the road.

Im reliably informed that the lakeland subdivision park pond in hallswell has more geese on it than arses and hangers on in a kardashian movie.
probably a bloody sight more useful too.
