Is Norfolk Wash Pink-footed Goose Dawn Liftoff happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~October. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Every winter tens to hundreds of thousands of pink-footed geese stage on The Wash and nearby Norfolk marshes.
At dawn flocks lift en masse from tidal roosts and stream inland to feed.
The daily liftoff is predictable on clear, calm mornings and creates wide, dynamic flight lines across the sky.
