There are often 20+ Canada geese in fields west of Botany Bay mill, which have about 30 cattle and 40 sheep so also have large (30+) flocks of jackdaw and starling. May be where they were heading depending on altitude.

[Dave Beevers]

Probably not Paul. The flock was very low over my house on Meadowcroft, Euxton going south from Primrose Hill area

There are often 20+ Canada Geese on the lodge in Brinscall, 30 is perhaps pushing it though. There are at least an additional 5 goslings there now, and we often see smaller family groups eg. 5 to 6 flying around here and over the edges of the moors.

You can see some large flocks of canada geese on the mosses every autumn , some reaching into the hundreds .

[Neil Southworth]

There's usually a moulting flock of 100+ on Anglezarke Reservoir in June.
