Duck Under the Flight Path - HFF!

Duck Under the Flight Path - HFF!
Udale Bay, RSPB and i spotted a lone duck under the 'flight path' of these Canada Geese.
I have added the song:
'Under the Flight Path' by Tim Rogers and the Twin Set
www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKNZYX3yG1c

The second link here is from one of my favourite films, Beaches. The song is 'The Wind Beneath My Wings' by Bette Midler

Thank you very much Roger. Really appreciated. Yes it makes me smile - it is just like they are applying the brakes or backpedalling when they land, - so funny. HFF and have a good weekend

Thank you very much Sasi. Really appreciated. It is the landing that amuses me, - it almost looks like they don't see the ground approaching until the last minute and have to back pedal. My apologies for the late response and have a good week

Lol, they're all gonna land on that mallard! Too funny, Carol.:D What a great shot.

I like the lyric in the first song where he says: "They send Boeings from Tacoma." (Tacoma is about 60 miles from where I live. :)

The other song is a classic that I first heard by Sheena Easton way back when. She does a nice version of it too. (I never have seen "Beaches" but it sounds like a good movie.)

HFF to you, Carol. Watch out for low flying geese! ;-)
4 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Karen's Place club
Thank you very much Karen. Really appreciated. Their landing technique makes me laugh, - like the ground is coming up too fast and they have to backpedal! I am pleased you liked the links . forgive my geography , - never my best subject - but is Tacoma fairly close to the Canadian Border? I haven't heard the Sheena Easton version, - I will find it and have a listen to it now. 'Beaches' is my go-to weepy movie!! Lol! I can't resist watching it but it always makes me cry. HFF and have a lovely weekend
4 years ago.
Karen's Place club has replied to Ecobird club
Lol that's so true about geese. They are such funny birds to watch. :)

Tacoma is about a 3 hour drive to the Canadian border so not an actual border town so to speak.

What a shame on me Carol !
You were the first person to congratulate "my" heavy iron fence and I was not here to say
how much more elegant and nature friendly yours is, anybody can see it.
My humble excuses, dear Carol . . .
Have a great week.
