Greylag Geese flyby

I had a quiet day at Leighton Moss on sat, the public hide seemed the place to be with plenty of action, raised water levels had emptied the shallow pools of birds.
I missed a low just above the water shot of geese flying, I need to tune myself in to their honking which normally indicates they're about to take off or are in flight.

Cheers

Nicely spaced birds and all with wings in good positions and on a great background. The pano format suits the image well.

Like the pano crop too. :toast:

It has all been said - beautiful light on the birds set off by the super BG. Really nice.
