Ammaraggio di gruppo.

Durante una fantastica domenica d’ottobre,  nella quale ci siamo dati al birdwatching nel piccolo golfo di Halikon Lahti,  abbiamo intercettato un enorme stormo di oche selvatiche volteggiare ripetutamente sopra le nostre teste.  Gli uccelli migratori in autunno si radunano in gruppi per partire in sicurezza tutti assieme ed infatti man mano che i volteggi aumentavano,  aumentava anche il volume del gruppo:  evidentemente si stavano chiamando con alte grida e radunando in vista del lungo viaggio.

Naturalmente non ho resistito a fare un breve video:  come vedete e’ impressionante il numero di individui nel gruppo…sembrano quasi un nugolo d’insetti!

Infine,  dopo tante giravolte,  sono ammarate sull’acqua per una sosta rinfrescante e da questo punto di vista “terreno” hanno perso un po’ del loro fascino,  ma e’ stato comunque uno spettacolo vederle e sentire i loro richiami.

A group-splashdown.      

On a lovely and sunny autumn Sunday,  when we decided to go birdwatching,  we had the opportunity to watch a large flock of wild geese fly around in a kind of circle above our heads.   We were standing along the shore of the small gulf called Halikon Lahti,  a well-known area to birdwatchers;  the flock of geese was incredibly numerous and it became larger and larger every moment,  as the birds turned and revolted in the sky crying aloud.  Migratory birds gather in flocks in the autumn,  in order to fly together safely:  these birds were exactly doing that,  calling each other to keep contact.

Of course I did not resist and I shot a brief video too:  you can see the impressive number of individuals in the group:  from a distance they resemble a swarm of flies!

After turning and returning endless times they finally splashed down r to the water.  From this “earthly” point of view of course they lost a bit of their fascination…but it was so exciting to see them anyway and hear their cries!

  20. Spectacular!
    For me, the flocks of wild geese are a relatively new and exotic thing, and even if we see here only small ones, they impress me every time.
    Thank you for your comment today. I hope your Laburnum will bloom soon. I’m trying to grow them from seeds and they are 10 cm high now. 🙂
    Stay safe and well!
