    There is something special about seeing geese flighting all right. The Slobs hold the largest over wintering population of Greenland Whitefronts and also large numbers of Brent Geese. There is small populations of Canada's and a odd Pink Foot and Greylag but in small numbers.

    I am not to sure at all what species they might of been, off hand possibly Canada's but I couldn't say without seeing them. Maybe someone from up that way might know what sort of populations are about up there.
