Video: Maidstone's Canada geese enjoy some rare good weather

It's not just humans who've appreciated the weather this week.

Maidstone's Canada geese, who can usually be heard noisily squawking across the town, have enjoyed a spot of sun.

They were seen flapping their way out of the River Medway and lining up on the banks to stop for a wash and a preen so we paused for a moment from breaking news duties, to catch them on camera.

The distinctive birds with a black head and large neck have been introduced from America and are now common in Britain.

But they might want to head for cover at the weekend - rain, a drop in temperatures and high winds are forecast.
