All the wonders of the thousands of geese that fly through the winter across the enormous Norfolk skies, baggy fields, and marshes are here.
Acheson spent lockdown cycling furiously along the coast on his mother’s old red pushbike following the pinkfeet and many other species of geese, describing his great love affair with them.
