Well, for my first Monday’s Magic Moment, I picked this cracking shot of pink-footed geese leaving their roost in The Wash, taken by David Tipling.

I saw the weather forecast last night, and it’s definitely getting colder. Cold weather only means one thing for me: geese!  I love nothing more than wrapping up warm and heading out to watch the v-shaped skeins of pinkies fly over my head.

If you don’t live close enough to see this spectacle, then you can get an idea of it from all the other great images on RSPB images. You can’t feel the cold though!
