Skeins of geese fly beyond the triptych of windows.
Yet more geese fly by
Even more geese - something has definitely upset them:
Something has stirred up the #BarnacleGeese #uist

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Migratory birds that migrate to or from your country.
Barnacle geese breed on the Siberian tundra. In winter, #barnaclegeese migrate en masse to overwinter in the Netherlands.

Bit of a wild goose chase today! All quite distant but eventually found the #TundraBeanGeese #RussianWhiteFrontedGeese and #BarnacleGeese with a large flock of #PinkFootedGeese at #Weybourne #NorthNorfolk Thank goodness for sunshine 🌞#NorfolkBirding
Flock of #BarnacleGeese in the field beyond my garden includes 3 birds with rings, belonging to the Svalbard-population & caught on the Solway in south-west Scotland. #Waterfowl
Just watched a #WhiteTailedEagle in a fight to the death with a #Greylag #Goose on the #loch. Poor goose lost but was too heavy for the eagle to fly with. He's got it to the bank, however. Saw the #WildIsles footage with the #BarnacleGeese but this is new to me with greylags. #Waterfowl
