Post subject:  When is a goose not a goose?

This may be a really stupid question and I may end up kicking myself, but I have just been outside bringing in the washing and a flock of birds flew over calling quite high up. I didn't recognise the call but it sounded similar to a goose though it clearly wasn't the local Greylag population.

The house backs onto Cleethorpes Country Park and the flock sounded like it was heading to the coast.

Anyone have any ideas as to what they could have been or is there somewhere i can hear flight calls?

Cheers
James

The local Barnacle Goose flock? The Upper Humber birds have been very mobile of late possibly as a result of extensive shooting and the late harvest producing unseasonable feeding opportunties.
