Every year the Canada geese return in late February and begin the messy business of staking a claim to the territory. This year I recorded some of the skirmishes between the dominant pair and intruders. I think o this occasion it might have been three young males who had a go at trying to take over the pond and garden. It's another sign that spring is here.

This year has been unusual because the battle for the territory has been sustained for over 6 weeks. Even now there are two pairs of geese in the garden and everyday there are confrontations. However, One pair does appear to have established themselves on the pond, which means they will soon be nesting on the small island.
