Simon in Norway has been out again exploring the forests looking for the bean goose flock. His exploits in his blogspot are worth reading as it all adds to our understanding of the habitats that these geese are comfortable in.
Their behaviour too is so similar to what we experience here in Scotland during the winter months.
The fields that they use on their arrival have just been cut again for silage but hopefully they will green up in time for their arrival here in approx two weeks time. One field has been reseeded but the grass is growing well in the present weather conditions.
We now a wait their next move, is it south east to the Norwgian coast or south to Denmark?
