One For Sorrow

Gorgeous goose is dead. :(

I went to Fishers Green and asked at the Wildlife Discovery Centre if they had been told about the goose with the broken wing. They had, it was reported a week ago. They were encouraging fishermen to feed it with duck pellets in the hope it would become tame enough to be captured and taken to a rescue centre.

I walked to where the National Grid works were taking place. Olu the security guard said he had been looking for the goose this morning but one of his colleagues had sadly seen it dead at the bend of the Old River Lea. It made me wish I had brought it home yesterday but actually it was just as well I didn't as I had all sorts of trouble last night with a power cut and got very little sleep so wouldn't have been best placed to care for it. 

It cheered me up slightly when I got the shot in extras of a wren singing outside the Centre. I also got a tern, they're very few and far between here this year.
