I feel so much mire knowledgable now, thank you all!
no need to look out for them, where I live we hear them coming long before we see them it's interesting to see how sometimes they will turn direction doing a huge turn ?

It's that time of year, isn't it? We saw several skeins (I have learnt a new word today!) flying over the river Dart the other day, all honking loudly.
If you have ever been on a busy road in India, everyone sounds their horns all the time - it's not seen as aggressive, it's regarded as helpful to other drivers. As most people drive with open windows, the hooting helps them to locate other vehicles with their ears as well as their eyes. I think geese in flight are doing the same thing, to help them stay in formation and know where the other members of the group are.

we had a driver in India who used to sound his horn even if we were in the middle of nowhere and nobody around.
I think he just liked the sound it made.
