Duck Pond Delights

The Egyptian geese have seven goslings that sleep together in a breathing pile. One of the ducks has three ducklings that bomb across the pond so quickly it's impossible to take photos, and Mr and Mrs Moorhen have eight black fluffy chicks that they tenderly feed with crumbs.
Oh nature!
Yet for some reason, today people have climbed back into their cars and are roaring around making the town stink with their exhaust fumes and drowning out the sounds of cheeping and quacking that have become such wonderful therapy during this weird time. Their car stereos are playing full blast, and they are driving around far too fast, as though they can outwit the virus by sheer nastiness and offensive speed levels.
Geese, go puncture those tyres with your sharp spiny beaks!
