Let sleeping geese lie

With the canal frozen, what can the Canada Geese do?

With most of the canal through Birmingham (and much of the country) frozen over there’s not much you can do if you’re a Canada Goose.

Around here it’s 2 inches (5 cm) thick and there are a few silly humans who have tried walking on it but the Canada Geese just slide around like we do and don’t seem to enjoy it.

So, this morning the geese were unusually quiet, with their heads tucked under their wings and just sitting on the ice.

They must have a good layer of insulation in their feathers. I don’t think I’d like to sleep like that for very long.

There are a few thin bits where the ice has been kept thin by one of the Sherborne Wharf trip boats moving each day to ensure they can still reach George, the floating coffee shop, with supplies.
