In flight

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 18 February 2013 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Grabbed this shot as these geese (at least I think they're geese !) flew over while I was out in the Saturday morning fog

Canon EOS 500D 1/3200 second F/8.0 ISO 100 50 mm

SPOTLIGHT IMAGES AT:

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

I thought they only flew in threes (or was that just on chimney breasts?)

18 Feb 2013 7:59am

@Curly: I'm not sure if they fly in three's but I've never seen chimney breasts flying :-) I know you meant like the ducks on the wall but I just couldn't help myself

Beautiful, Doug...these are definitely geese . They may indeed be Canada's but the tips of the wings confuse me a bit on that score. They definitely are not snow geese - but as Chris says, guys this big will definitlely leave torpedos so watch out :-)
