I arrived to find Stanley sitting peacefully on the grass in the sun and Hilda came waddling up to meet me. I sat with them for a while and saw how happy, content and settled they were. No wonder! I had taken them a snack which a group of Canada geese were hoping to join in with but no chance of that with fiesty Hilda keeping them back! <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t29\/1.5\/16\/1f602.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude02\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3026\" width=\"463\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-1536x1151.png 1536w, https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-1600x1199.png 1600w, https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The kind lady who is now caring for them, keeps a close eye on them and feeds them twice a day.
