Wild geese arriving over the Firth

Driving back from Inverness for the second time that morning - (because of two daughters starting work shifts at two different times and an unhelpful, infrequent bus service these days!) - I pulled over in the layby to get a good look at this flock of wild geese. This was the first time I'd seen them here since they'd migrated north in the Spring.

I always love seeing them come back each year and hearing their funny cacophony of honking noises getting louder out of the distance. The combination of the sight and sound of them flying in their loose formations is thrilling to me!
