Watching Wild Geese
Have you ever watched wild geese? It's a wonderful experience where you can connect with nature up close. If you go out into nature during the winter months, you have the chance to see wild geese that spend the winter here with us. Wild geese winter in Germany because there is enough food and protected waters. Additionally, the climate is milder compared to their breeding grounds in the far north. This allows them to recover optimally and gather strength for their next migration. So, what are you waiting for? Pack your warm jacket and binoculars and head to a lake or river to watch the wild geese.
How it works
-
Watch the wild geese quietly and don't be too loud. If they are disturbed, they waste their energy unnecessarily. Wild geese need to eat in peace to gather strength for their long flight.
-
Count the number of geese: Can you count them all?
-
Listen to their singing: Wild geese often sing while flying. Can you hear them and what sounds do they make?
-
Track their route: Where do they come from and where are they flying to? You can trace their route on a map.
-
Observe their body language: Watch how wild geese move their heads and wings. Can you learn something about their mood?
-
Monitor the formations: Wild geese often fly in formations, observe how they change in flight.
