"A winter highlight"

It is so rare that we get Barnacle geese here in the north west that getting a chance to photograph them in flight on a very grey day in mid winter was a real treat. These are actually a feral flock that stays around all year round but usually they stay so far away you cannot get any decent photos of them. The flock ocontains approximately forty birds including a red breasted goose and a barnacle X Canada hybrid but they are not included in this composition. Along with Brents the Barnacle is one of my favourite geese in flight. Photographed Martinmere January 2007
