The geese are still flying over Sewerby, 9th November 2014

You can identify in flight by calls;

'A-honk'. Canada
'Wink wink' Pinkfeet.
'Gung-gung(or similar) Greylag.

I would think Canada is most likely though. If it was Flamingo Park they could be Barnacles too, but it isn't near there is it?
 
Well, they certainly seem to honk. No, Sewerby is not that near to Kirby Misperton - it's 35 to 40 miles away or thereabouts.
 
I would think Canadas. I don't think Yorkshire is a Pinkfeet wintering area like e.g. Norfolk is.
 
I'd never imagined Canadas. I suppose I'd always thought all the geese flying around were Greylags but then my goose knowledge is not at all great, not really extending beyond the visual identification of several species.
