Mischievous Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Has anyone else just seen a flock of Geese fly over their house? I'm guessing they are migrating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Has anyone else just seen a flock of Geese fly over their house? I'm guessing they are migrating? Not necessarily - they might be flying to a suitable spot to roost. I get loads flying over tinfoil towers heading to rother valley most evenings.

tinfoilhat Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Are you in Sheffield Tinfoil hat? It's made my night I must admit!! Killamarsh - so right in the flight path of flocks of Canada geese heading to rother valley country park. They do make a racket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mischievous Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 They sure do! I wondered what it was at first? Lucky you being in the flight path! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I don't notice geese here half as much as I used to when I lived with my parents. There my bedroom was in the attic with a flat dormer roof on it and clearly their house is the right distance from local fields for the geese to use as a staging and gathering post before setting off on flights. I can tell you that 15 Canada geese landing on the flat roof (when you're in bed and know for sure that you're on the top floor) can really be a worry until you know what it is!

Peggy Gunn Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Saw two this morning over Norton Lees, probably stragglers from the south, looked like grey geese but can't remember which ones head for Canada round about this time of year Last year I was up early just before the sun came up so we had a crescent moon above and a pearly glow on the horizon, I was watching the bats when a flock of geese flew over, had the most amazing sight of geese and bats silhouetted against the moon together.

taxman Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 There have been recent sightings of migrating Whooper Swans in Sheffield, stunning birds. Off back to Iceland I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Oh hope if there are planes flying in the area, the geese do not fly near them. Wasn't it geese that brought down a jet plane on The Hudson River? Who would have though that these birds are capable of bringing down a big airliner. Makes you wonder how many bird strikes there are when a plane is airborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
