A skein of geese fly past the moon as they prepare to land at Vane Farm nature reserve

A skein of pink-footed geese fly past the moon as they prepare to land at the Vane Farm nature reserve near Loch Leven in Fife, Scotland October 8, 2009. Around twenty thousand pink-footed geese stop off at the nature reserve each year, some to refuel and some stay, as they migrate to the south for the winter from Iceland.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by David Moir, a mesmerizing skein of pink-footed geese gracefully soar past the radiant moon as they prepare to land at Vane Farm nature reserve near Loch Leven in Fife, Scotland. The enchanting scene unfolds against the backdrop of a crisp October evening in 2009. As twilight descends upon the serene landscape, approximately twenty thousand pink-footed geese make their annual stopover at this remarkable sanctuary. Some are merely refueling on their arduous migration journey from Iceland to warmer southern regions for the winter, while others choose to linger and call this haven home. The image encapsulates both tranquility and wonderment as these magnificent creatures navigate through the vast expanse of sky. Their synchronized flight patterns create an awe-inspiring spectacle that seems almost choreographed with celestial precision. This snapshot serves as a testament to nature's grandeur and reminds us of our responsibility to protect these delicate ecosystems. It is a gentle reminder that amidst our bustling lives, there exists an ethereal world where wildlife finds solace and renewal. David Moir's skillful lens has immortalized this fleeting moment in time, inviting us into a realm where beauty meets harmony—a place where geese dance with the moonlight before finding respite in nature's embrace.
