BBC News
Vast numbers of geese have started to arrive in Scotland as part of their annual migration.
More than 1,000 pink-footed geese were recorded at RSPB Scotland's Loch of Strathbeg nature reserve in Aberdeenshire over the weekend.
Tens of thousands of geese are expected to touch down at the reserve.
Louise Smith, of the RSPB, said: "It's always an exciting time. The sight of tens of thousands of geese lifting off as one is a truly magical experience."
