Wish I'd been there Mike :biggrin:

Worth a try again to get them clear of the trees - up on that rise behind that building on the right might be a good idea.

Mike,

You can post an image upto 720pixels max which helps people see it more clearly and provide better feedback.

Also, as Rob has said, this forum uses normal net conventions and using capital characters means that you are SHOUTING.. :wink:

Thanks for posting this very ineresting image Mike. The Knot on the Lincs/Norfolk coast also form extraordinary patterns in the sky but getting near enough and in the right light is very difficult.

There aren’t many sights in the world to equal this, waders over the wash, Snow Geese at Bosque Del Apache come to mind, all experiences to treasure.

An excellent capture, well seen, composed and taken.

P.S. Re post has it by a mile.

Cool Mike, the flocks here aren't quite as large it would seem but are still worth the watch :smile:
