Skein heard as I got out of the car outside my old Trafford House at 7.20pm, despite it being dark I could still just about see them, probably around a couple of hundred & heading north west. Another skein heard just before logging in at 10.30pm could not see these but sounded a lot more & again heading north west.

Three skeins over Hulme this morning, all flying ESE. 250 give or take - five mins - then 130, followed by 27, only a minute or so behind. None of lead geese in the first skein changed positions but quite a lot of place switching in the lower half of lines. Is this aptitude or ability to keep up with mature geese at front?
