Nature Resort De Avelingen's Merry Encounter (III)

            PURE PLAY, inspired by the setting sun, there is hardly any practical functionality in this behaviour of the wild geese. The end of the first March day this year.

Took my old E-M1 gen.1 with me, with stills on my mind. The camera has poor video, but the scene was irresistible. 

Wild geese make a distinct sound and have a demeanour which is not always the same. I often hear them at night, when they fly in small groups low above my flat 25 m high. Then it's more like navigating, a kind of sound radar. Or encouraging each other. Yesterday evening (5 March) I was late coming back from the river shore, and the geese had been conspicuously calm for an hour... when I was at the middle of that big field, it was almost completely dark already. Camera already packed in my bag. Then something like exploded. The whole flock of around thousand wild geese put up a play for me. They suddenly burst into flight from the field on my right hand side and came right above my head over to the other side of the field where they landed. It was the sound of a thunder, all those huge wings flapping and the geese honking and calling. Like fff tutti of a large symphony orchestra. –Maybe I should take a sound recorder with me the next time... :)))
