Interesting.....a similar flock size and direction to where I then saw a Skein @2.38 (*draw Romily to Newton-le Willows and it is spot on both our vectors). I've timestamp of my narrative on the cars Crash Cam so I'm pretty 100% on my data. 430 mph would have been required by the geese to get from Romily to Newton-le-Willows in that time. As I failed to persuade anyone on a 60 mph Lapwing once I ain't going to claim this as the same flock obviously but interestingly they were also low due to cloud - going to roost somewhere one the Lancashire Mosses / estuaries?
