Crikey!! I did see a huge family group of Greylags like that once Chris. I'm led to understand that geese are inclined to dump their eggs in another's nest, though maybe it's two (or more) separate broods in a creche.

A wonderful record that mate - thanks so much for showing it to us lad, a fine picture.
 
my goodness!!! what great photo, Chris!!! amazing capture of this impressive promenade, top notch, many tfs!!!
