Wild birds working in unison

-

I have been watching the grey geese migrating in the skies above. They fly in formation, and when the leader is tired, the next one steps up and it falls back. Yesterday, I noticed that one poor goose had fallen a way behind. The flock noticed and, in perfect formation, swept around, slowing their flight. The lost goose caught up and then an amazing thing happened: in perfect formation, the left-hand side rank made a space in the middle of their line and let it in, then they all flew off. Nature really is very beautiful. Today, do not look down; look up. You never know what you will see.
