Geese in a row

Another opportunistic shot taken with my 200mm lens. I loved the way the geese are all lined up with the same spacing and same wing position. Reminded me of the iconic flying ducks on Hilda Ogden's wall from Coronation Street. Except I think one of Hilda's was cocked at a funny angle.

 

These are Pink-footed Geese that winter in large numbers on the Lancashire coast. They breed in Greenland and Iceland, migrating to Britain for the winter.
