Monday's Magic Moment: taking flight

As we head deeper into autumn, the natural spectacle that is migration really gets going.

We'll be visited by thousands of birds looking to take advantage of our winter weather. There will be fieldfares, redwings, knots, maybe also some waxwings, as well as plenty of geese.

I love the energy and movement that Gordon Langsbury has captured in this image of one of those visitors: white-fronted geese. These birds will have travelled to the UK from either Greenland or Siberia, and will be found happily munching on grass, grain and winter wheat until they head back to their breeding grounds after Christmas.

If you don't want to search the skies for arriving geese, take a relaxing look at  RSPB Images instead - they've got all the geese you could wish for!
