pink footed geese

Got back last night from a few days away looking at birds and relaxing on the North Norfolk coast, yes thats right North Norfolk just up the road. Yes I even stayed in a B and B just up the road.



And why not it meant I could stay out later and get out earlier, oh yes and support business there and they need it like everyone else does, cos we are all in this together hah.... Getting back to the blog, it took me back years especially the pink footed geese and there behaviour.

Seeing tham in flocks feeding on newly emerged wheat , flying between feeding areas, and then the most spectacular flighting into there roosting grounds in the wash off Snettisham.



Went out two evenings to see them flighting in, its cold its darker than the pictures suggest and its magic. Thousands of geese coming in in waves, strings and lines. Flocks merging dividing and all the while calling as they go overhead and then out to land on the mudflats and still calling. With them other geese and ducks in smaller groups and flocks of waders also calling and flying around, the atmosphere is incredible and very pleasing for the soul.
