    It was a cold and windy morning when I visited my local pond in Pretoria early yesterday. The sun was in and out behind clouds, but I did manage to capture these two Egyptian Geese in formation.

    This is fantastic, Stu. Two birds with great flight posture, perfect sharpness, great light and bg and calling poses. Definitely not easy. You nailed it!
