Hi all,
Not quite what I had in mind when I first thought about the theme, but a combination of bad light and rain limited when and what I could film. Managed three bright days!
Pagham Harbour located on the south coast of the UK (not far from Portsmouth for the information of you football/soccer fans out there) and is the the home to many winter migrants including Brent Geese. These geese fly thousands of miles from the Russian Tundra to over winter in the harbour and on the adjacent farmland ,much to the local farmers annoyance as the comsume vast amounts of crops, but can't be shoot as they are protected.
As the tide rises they fly from the harbour to the fields on mass, with as many as two thousand or more in the air at any one time, returning later as the tide receeds to again feed on the exposed the mud flats.
I will let the film explain
