Early December news about the bean goose flock at Slamannan

A visit to the plateau at lunchtime yesterday found two flocks of bean geese NW of Slamannan. The total count was 214 birds between both groups.

The smaller group of 87 birds was close enough to record some collar details of birds caught in recent years.

Another group of visitors to the area was a small group of  Whooper Swans. They are not unusual at this time of year but always a pleasure to look at when they appear.
