On November 13th, 2008 I've captured those 92 geese in the air above the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands on their way to an, to me, unknown destination. I was told that they are flying in these patterns in order to save energy as they are using the slibstream of their 'friends' this way. Hope you'll enjoy this image. Thank you in advance for any comment.

I am not counting them Cornelius! lol! ...amazing how they make this formation - looks like there are a few stragglers though! :) Well done at capturing them in focus - not easy with one bird never mind 92! :)

I know the "V" formation but this is more like "bulbous bow" :) Nice shot Cornelius and I'll take your word for it that they are 92 :)

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
I'm glad to see you have the patience of Job. I never would be able to count them. I'd mess up, then have to start over again, and again, and again. I love that sky, and the geese just make it that more beautiful. Nice work, Cornelius.

"Democracy can only survive in a society where the people are motivated by love and respect for others, and a desire to reach out for something better."
I'm sorry Cornelius but you laid down the challenge by saying that there were 92 birds so as Chartered Accountant I had to count them myself and you are quite right, there are 92 birds! What an excellent shot, all in such great focus.

The truth is, you really should see My Gallery.
Very good picture with the birds,the blue sky is very nice,very good clarity too.

Nou, ik ga ze niet natellen, Cornelius, ik geloof je wel!
Klopt inderdaad, dat als deze vogels in V formatie vliegen,
en in het zog van hun voorganger komen, gebruiken ze nog maar 70% van hun energie, heb ik ooit eens gelezen!
Met de voorganger wordt er gewisseld, zodat ze hun energie
gelijkmatig verdelen
Mooie post!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
Fantastic image! I love how they stand out against the blue sky.
I'll take your worth for it that there are 92 birds.
Wishing you and yours all the best.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
It makes me think of this song. They look magnificent against that blue sky.
Good health to you and yours C.
