Thanks PB :) It kept flying short distances, gave me plenty of chances to get a photo.

:laugh: I like the woosh noise as they all took off. They did it a few times, I never saw what caused them to take flight.

Ohh... what a cracker Snappy.... fancy holding that back for a month before sharing!! I guess the warden's will be out egg collecting about now, for the conservation project they run at Welney?
The image reminds of pics I've seen of the Ruff at Snettersham swirling about en masse (not seen either live!) Can't beat the sounds of thousands of wings beating :) Thanks for FINALLY sharing ;)
