1. Trying out a CPL filter, i`ve had it a while but not really used it much.
2. Fishing on the canal.
3. Horses frollicking.
4. Was going to avoid taking pics of birds today, but not seen one of these before, anyone know what it is.
5. Approaching these, I did wonder why they were reluctant to go in the water.
6. The adult goose that did go in the canal was attacked by a swan.
7. As were the rest.
8. And it made a bee-line for the goslings.
9. It did escape though.
10. I threw some stones into the canal to distract the swan while this little one escaped.

And there was another a bit further up the canal the managed to make it back, all eight made it back to mum and dad, swan was one nasty sod though.

Nice photos. Nature is often cruel. Good on you for intervening - I would have done the same
