News update from Slamannan

A visit to the plateau yesterday produced a sighting of a small family party of bean geese. Two adults with a juvenile in tow was a pleasing site after days of wondering when any beans would turn up.

I had a quick look around again today but the family party were not in the same place. It is interesting that there is no sign of winter Thrushes either this autumn. Perhaps a milder autumn in Scandinavia has kept them all in their breeding territories.
