Wow, that is a good "in flight" shot. The sun was in just the right place to light up the geese. |

Many thanks everyone. I was sat in the hide when i noticed something glistening in the sky, as the light hit the underside of the birds i could then tell what was going on....it was like watching a white wave on a blue ocean background. |

... that's exactly what it's like Dave... absolutely amazing photos, and I'm so glad you caught them! One looks like a giant butterfly, another looks like a heart on its side, and another looks like a rocket taking off... glorious images... ![]() |
