What type of geese were they Robert? Apparently there are between 60-190k Canadian geese in UK. Dont think they fly in the dark but dont know. I think they land and feed and rest overnight.

Canada geese certainly fly at night, well the do around here. We get migrant Canada geese from the north in the winter, resident Canada geese that remain all year and we get returning migrants from the south in summer so it is reasonable to assume that migration is pretty near constant.

Most Geese will fly at night. Like you I think its a bit early for migration but it could have been Canada or Greylag on the move.

Thanks for the info, it was the vast numbers which struck my attention, we do get migration one way or the other but I have never seen so many and I assume they where many more than those I saw in the few minutes I happened to notice them. They were too far away for me to ID them, although no doubt an expert would recognise their flight per species.

I guess a bit late now but you can often identify which species they are by their calling... https://www.british-birdsongs.uk/greylag-goose/ Compare call to Canada which is higher pitched.

I find these audio clips really useful when bird watching as especially in marshes and reed areas. You hear the bird call but spotting them is more difficult unless you know what you are looking for.

Thanks both. This one came on to some blackberries next to where I was sitting in the car and I managed to get a few shots off through the gaps.
