Excessive Geese?!

[fridacakehole]

Is anyone else noticing crazy amounts of Geese migrating (?) over the past couple of days?

I've seen hundred flying overhead and can't recall ever seeing numbers like this before.

Yesterday part of the M4 was closed for a bit because of the waddlers and yesterday police escorts were needed for them in Feltham!

Is this happening everywhere? Does it normally happen but I've just never noticed it before? Is it Brexit related?

Any other Goose news from around the country?

I wonder if this is a new addition to the armageddon story?

Our Canadian Geese flew off last week, a month earlier than usual.

Wonder what they know that we don't?

I've seen a few boating lakes suffering from a surfeit of geese in my time. They're just green expanses of water surrounded by a shit field.

Its the end times, innit?

Geese Lightning.....

We had some geese wandering around in a fairly built up part of the city the other day that seemed a bit out of place.

I thought not all birds of the same species migrated in the same way, some were a bit 'lazier' and only migrated as much as necessary, according to the weather. So more extreme weather, either hotter or colder, would make more of them migrate further.

They'll have been sheltering somewhere safe while they regrow their flight feathers after moulting. Takes a few weeks after the breeding season but then they can all be off again wherever it is geese go!
