I visited the plateau earlier this week and managed to locate two groups of birds. Both groups were located to the north of Slamannan, one of c60 birds and a smaller group of c24 birds.
The bean geese continue to feed far and wide within the study area utilising the available grassland pastures.
It has been noted recently that some birds are feeding in amongst the juncus in some fields and not venturing into the open. It is almost like they are aware that if they stay hidden from view they can feed on the grass that is available without being disturbed.
