Perfektes "lift off".
----------------------------.
Es ist immer wieder eine Freude, Graugänse beim perfekten "lift-off",festzuhalten" - so wie hier in den Manauwiesen bei Nusse in den durch die hohen Niederschläge der letzten Tage überschwemmten Wiesen. Graugänse haben eine große Partnertreue, verpaaren sich jedoch bei Verlust des Partners neu. Jetzt im Februar bilden sich auch neue Pärchen, da der Zeitplan läuft. Das Bebrüten der Eier dauert 27 bis 29 Tage, und ab Mitte März bis Mitte April laufen schon die "Gösseln" auf den Wiesen..
Aber auch ein "Zeitthema"- bei männlichen Graugänsen kann es zu homosexuellen Beziehungen kommen. Ein Weibchen kann in eine solche gleichgeschlechtliche Partnerschaft einbezogen werden; beide Männchen begatten das Weibchen, ein Männchen ist jedoch stets dominant. Während der Aufzucht der Jungen bleibt das Trio zusammen. Danach trennt sich das Weibchen von der Gruppe, während das männliche Paar zusammenbleibt.In den 1970er Jahren gab es hier keine Graugänse im Herzogtum Lauenburg. Der Nobelpreisträger Konrad Lorenz hat sich in seinem Leben mit Graugänsen beschäftigt. Die Graugänse wurden zu seiner "Lebensaufgabe". In seinem Buch "Hier bin ich – wo bist du?", hat er die Verhaltensweisen der Graugänse beschrieben.
