Participated in a dusk roost count today with Brian Minshull. Weather was dull and misty with little wind which was good for listening to incoming flocks of bean geese.
I counted 23 bean geese coming to roost a East Fannyside Loch at 1800hrs which was 1/2 hour after dusk.
Brian further to the east at Darnrig counted a total of 60 Bean Geese and 2 Canada Geese.
These numbers may well indicate that some of our birds have already left us for Denmark. Hopefully if this has occurred we will get some information from two of our birds with GPS tags attached.
