The geese are back with a vengeance.

Yep, noticing many Geese popping up once again.  I like your second shot the best of all...  and all inspire me to seek them out on a sunny day soon and practice some flight shots.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Rob.

Reordered the pics to show some sort of sequence - high in the sky, coming in to land, and take-off.

I like these very much! The much-maligned c.g. is a beautifully photogenic bird and the flock pictures here are most pleasing indeed! "TFS" as they say these days...

Thanks Jack.

They are very photogenic but do get annoying when they poo all over the place and occupy every bit of open space when they spread out into breeding groups. :)

Agreed! Nevertheless, I don't think we should be turning them into winter coats!

Well -that- line of clothes - actually very little if any gossey stuff goes into those. It is mostly duck down and other stuff.

Hi Bobobird

Some very nice shots there....sometimes we can all catch up in the search for unusual ones ..we forgot all about the ones right in our own backyards
