Enjoy one of the UK's greatest wildlife sights
A blizzard of wings take to the air, silhouetted against the red dawn sky. The return of tens of thousands of wintering geese to UK shores is one of nature's most stunning wildlife spectacles.
Similar to the wildebeest migrations on the plains of Africa, huge flocks of geese pass through mainland UK in the autumn and winter months as they travel south.
RSPB reserves provide the perfect place for a spot of refuelling, offering space for thousands of these winter visitors to rest and feed, and the chance for you to witness this unique natural wonder in person.
