Head banger .
Take a look at the lower goose , either he is the navigator looking for land marks or the wing in front hit his head . This is a small section of a very large flock of brents coming into feed on the spring wheat just inland from the sea wall.

I wonder what that bird is looking at? :smile: A nice capture, although it would maybe benefit from some warm evening or morning light to give it that extra bit of interest.

Nicely cropped Bob, I like how they are all clear of the edges of the frame. Does make you wonder who is "in charge" of leading these groups :smile:

I know for many the lower bird does add interest, but I think that if you ever offered it up a competition/publication then it would do better if it was cloned out

An excellent fly past, exceptionally well caught, have you looked at it flipped ??

Thanks All, I didn’t put this one up as serious shot , just an interesting one showing that even in the best flying circles mistakes are made .
