Mother Goose sets up home in a major train station

She has laid eggs on the main concourse at York Station

A goose which has taken advantage of the lockdown to nest in one of the north of England's busiest transport hubs has laid its fourth egg.

The proud mother is becoming a social media star after making her home in a raised flowerbed in the middle of the main concourse at York railway station.

The area is normally crowded with commuters and tourists but, over the last few weeks, it has seen just a fraction of its normal footfall.

Now the goose - which has not yet been named - has settled in and is watched daily by thousands of people via a series of goosecam feeds posted by the rail firm LNER, which runs the station.
