Brent Geese seen feeding at the old mill in Langstone, Hampshire, England.

Neville Shute the author and aircraft designed once lived here. When the bombs started dropping on Portsmouth during the second world war Neville Shute moved to this mill, which was owned by his close friend the artist Flora Twort.
The Royal Oak pub, which is about 500 years old, was originally four smugglers cottages and has been licensed since 1725.

Langstone Harbour is of international importance, for migrating birds it is a haven. Farlington Marshes, one of England's premier bird watching areas, attracts thousands of waders and wild fowl every year. Through the winter months 8,000 migrating Brent Geese settle here. Dunlin and Lapwing flock over the fields when high tide covers the mudflats.
