Whilst visiting Holkham Nature reserve in Norfolk we witnessed an amazing sight of several thousand geese leaving their feeding ground to take flight ...

To start off with here is a bit of footage (it's a little shaky in parts as it was filmed with my camera as we didn't think we'd need the camcorder or tripod that day! )

I like the birds in formations ones, the beautiful pink-orange of the bullfinch and the buzzard - I've never been able to get a good photo of a bird of prey!

:wow2: superb photos and wonderful footage Julie :clap3:

An unforgettable experience seeing geese in numbers like that and you just have to be there to witness the sights and sounds to truly take it all in.

Here are a few spots around the country that are worth checking out for geese...

Caerlaverock - Dumfries and Galloway,Scotland.....Amazing spectacle during winter with up to 27,000 Barnacle geese in the air and feeding on the salt marshes.

Welney - Norfolk.....The place to go to witness thousands of wintering geese and swans.

Holkham - Norfolk....Thousands of Pink-footed Geese on and around the marshes.

Montrose Basin SWT - Scotland.....Upwards of 65,000 Pink-footed Geese can be seen here during late Autumn/Winter.
