Don't stand under a flock of Barnacle geese when they take off

It was a grey, unispiring day today, or at least it was by the time I managed to get out and onto the bike.  A big flock af Barnacle geese were on a field high above a rough bank near Lyrabus Croft, and this meant that I could get up quite close, creeping up the bank before they saw me.  Its best not to be directly under a flock of geese when they take off though - the wee black sausages flying through the air in the photos are goose droppings - released to lighten their take-off weight.  It can be quite a shower...
