The Fylde & Wyre Antiquarian

I awoke today to loud honking noises and looked out to see a huge skein of about 150 geese flying south over Garstang. Then another, and another and so on. There must have been over a thousand. This afternoon, cycling over the Fylde, more large skeins flying south over Eagland Hill. They seemed to be coming from the east and then turned left over Eagland Hill to head south. Many landed in fields around there before taking off again and they were all white. Locals reckon they`re from Scandinavia/Russia but where are they heading to?

Phil,
The Ribble estuary is one of the main wintering grounds for geese in this country, which makes it hard work for the crews flying in and out of Warton this time of year.
