The Oslo Birder Simon has been out once again looking for the Scottish/Swedish Taiga Bean Goose flock. Alarming to hear his story of being confronted by a local farmer who was not pleased to see him because he was looking for geese.
Strikingly similar to Scotland where large goose flocks are not welcomed by the farmers who are losing grazing to them.
Not good to hear that they (farmers) have applied to shoot them as our bean goose flock may well get caught up in this situation.
However the local bird groups have objected and as the area is part of a nature reserve it may mean that shooting will not be allowed.
Another nice picture of Tag07 in flight with a few other geese. Thanks Simon.
