Скачать или смотреть 17th Jan Watch MamaGoose Lay Down The Law & fly/Run to Me in Full Honking Mode

Now today you'll see my typical visit where I encounter a random stranger and they get to see how the birds act around me, and I generally get them to feed the birds by hand putting a smile on the face of the adults & kids, which I typically don't record for privacy reasons.

But today I catch Mamagoose out of pole position for sweetcorn where she's on the river. Watch her reaction jumping out of the river and charging over to me letting every goose for a mile that she's there and they better stay back from me or else!

It's quite clear she's laid down the law to any goose who comes between her and me and 'her sweetcorn'.

The birds had what can be described as a really good weekend. And they've been back in their nesting area now since a dog killed one of the flock just after Xmas. It took a full week for they to return & sleep in their normal area, but my efforts paid off calming them down, while getting dog walkers to use leashes. Plenty of food & attention. No dogs chasing them, sunbathing after breakfast and they got to see me completely clear up their nesting area and the area you see filmed from rubbish, glasses, broken glass & empty beer bottles & cans.

What you don't see is me removing three sacks of the above from their area, making their area as safe as possible. Sadly I forgot to film Sunday 18th so you won't get to see them spot me on the other side of the river and them all flock to me, where I tell them to go back to the original side of the river & they did exactly that as if they now understand directions!

Thankfully I avoided freezing my ass off or falling in the river and i've succeeded in finally clearing 6 miles of riverbank to be free of drink cans and bottles making the area as clean as possible for hikers/walkers and of course the wildlife.
