POPSGreylag Goose Photographed Flying Upside Down When geese come in to land from a great height they partake in a bout of whiffling, this involves the bird twisting and turning to spill air from their wings and thus lowering their speed prior to landing. "In 36 years of birdwatching I have seen this many times, particularly when watching pink-footed geese on the north Norfolk coast coming in to roost in the late afternoon and evening. I have, however, never seen a photograph of a bird in mid-whiffle like this. It is an amazing photograph."

POPSBBC opens world's biggest online zoo more: Starting with 370 animals, including four octopuses and a solitary starfish, the databank of clips and still pictures will be reinforced on a daily basis. BBC staff are combing through hundreds of wildlife programmes, from spectaculars such as Planet Earth to regional TV news items, to create an unprecedented collection. Early stars in terms of hits online include Darwin's frog, a tiny resident of forests in Chile, which gives birth through the mouth of the male. The process is repeated in slow motion – another feature of the archive's ability to spy on Earth's wild creatures to an unprecedented extent.

POPSAmplifying Photography ... Do you have a clog at Amplify? If you have a clog and love photography feel free to join. It is an open clog and you can start clogging on it right away (no approval needed). I just ask a few things. Keep it about photography. Equipment, software, and inspirational photographs are all welcome (lolcats are great, but they usually aren't inspirational photography wise). And unless you are clipping a really short article, I think it is only polite not to clip the entire thing. This mostly applies to photographs. If it is a clip of lots of photographs, instead of clipping them all, I try to go with half or fewer (unless they are yours, then clip away).

POPSPic: Goose flying upside down more: “It looks like this bird is in mid-whiffle,” he said. “When geese come in to land from a great height they partake in a bout of whiffling, this involves the bird twisting and turning to spill air from their wings and thus lowering their speed prior to landing.
