After all, how would they know they were infertile?

I would have thought that they could sense movement within the eggs
when they turn the eggs with their beaks.

Been to have another gander at them earlier this afternoon. Most eggs
have now disappeared. Only three left in the larger nest and none in the
other. There was one egg floating in the water. Perhaps the geese have
tossed out the eggs that they reckon are bad.
