Cool Smirk Why Birds Fly in 'V' Formation

According to a BBC News report on an Oxford University study, the following birds benefit from 'uplift' from the wings of leading birds.
But which bird leads? The study finds the birds work in individual pairs, rotating as leader/follower so each bird gets to rest.
Mother Nature, eh! Gotta love Her
