Bean Goose Search Tuesday 27th September 2014

Visited the Slamannan Plateau this morning to finds the fields at Luckenburn very quiet with no geese present.

Spoke with one of the local farmers and his son whose property adjoins one of the fields that the geese use at this time of the year. Ian (the son) has heard some geese recently flighting overhead but unable to identify them. I saw a small flock of Pinkfeet (30) at Gardrum Moss yesterday along with a few Canada Geese.

News today from North Ronaldsay of a flock of bean geese in flight over the islands. Perhaps making their way south.

Plan to visit the plateau again tomorrow at dawn.

Light easterlies this afternoon so fingers crossed that something may occur.
