News has come in that part of our flock have been seen in northern Denmark by Thomas Heinicke (see below)
I made a counting/neckband reading trip to NW Jylland yesterday (23.2.14).
I visited Lundergard Mose (15:40) and found a flock of
98 Taiga Beans feeding on winter wheat. In this flock I found 10 grey
neckbands (7P, 7U, 3Y, 6Y, 6X, 6S, 6Z, 7X, 7V, 6U) and 5 birds with
transmitters/loggers at the neck (but no chance to read inscriptions of
these).
Exciting news once again that the Slamannan birds have again made landfall in Denmark.
The 5 birds that Thomas refers to will surely be Tag07 and his brood of four.
Tag06 was still on the plateau lunchtime yesterday but wasn't found pm in the area. Weather looks good today so won't be surprised that if the rest of the flock go or have already gone.
