Geeses

I'm guessing that spring is trying to sprung at the moment - or something like that.

Last night, round midnight I was amazed to firstly hear then see geese of one make or another flying high in the fairly clear sky. Then were heading roughly northwards in a mishappen V, there must have been at least 50 or so - a magnificent sight at any time, but with the almost full moon illuminating there steadily beating wings it was fantastic.

They didn't take long to dissappear into the night sky ... I wonder where they were heading, wether they were just moving to another site nearby or heading to a different country all together, and I hope they get to continue to travel over the next few years and don't become a victim of bird flu.
