The young goslings were still doing well on Friday, and still attracting plenty of attention around Falmer Pond. Here are a few more shots which come with a ‘high cuteness’ warning attached.<\/p>\n

The goslings are still tiny, but they’ll eventually grow to be a mighty goose, like this adult greylag.<\/p>\n

That’s another slow-shutter shot. I’m gathering plenty of them at the moment as part of a FotoBuzz<\/a> project on action photography. It’s a great place for learning from real experts at wildlife and landscape photography, and with some luck and hard graft it should help me improve and refine what I shoot. <\/p>\n

Here’s another couple of shots in the same mode.<\/p>\n

Back in the garden, the badgers have been great fun. Today’s photos are of badger number 2. I don’t think it’s the female in the video<\/a> I posted, which means there are at least three humbugs visiting. This one is smaller than the male who has featured in most of the recent photos, and I suspect has been in fewer fights and scrapes. It’s not as bold as the big guy, but is becoming more tolerant.<\/p>\n
