I just spent half a hour writing about geese but it deleted I’m sad.
Barnacle geese have their name because on the coast of scotland there are barnacles that look a gooses head . In the olden days people thought this was where the geese came from so thats what they called them.
When they are eating they can pack 200 times a minute. They mate for life so that means they are like girlfriend and boyfriend forever.
You can see them st caerlaverock in Dumfries, I think we went there on a school trip.
Today I watched a film called fly away home. You can hire it on Amazon prime for like 3.49. I rate it 4.5 out of 5.
It is about a girl with orphan geese. The geese need to migrate but they dont know where to go because they have no mum to show them. The girls dad builds her s plane so she can take them south they follow her because they think she is their mum. Every year they fly back and land by her porch. Its a true story and it is really good.
Hi Tumaini,
Thank you for going to the trouble of re-typing your facts about the geese, because you have given us lots of interesting facts. You are right that lots of barnacle geese settle at Caerlaverock.
I must watch the film as you have rated it 4.5/5.
You are right Tumaini, we did go to Caerlaverock on a school trip. You have written a very good summary of the film Fly Away Home and I like your fact about how the barnacle geese got their name.
Yes we did go to Caerlaverock, it was great wasn’t it Tumaini? What a shame all your typing disappeared, thanks for redoing it – your facts are really interesting.
