News update on the whereabouts of our bean geese.

I was out today in lovely sunshine looking for bean geese but came home empty handed as they all seemed to have found the most secluded spot on the plateau in which to feed.

It has been a  rather dreary past couple of weeks with easterly winds bringing in a lot of low cloud and mist which has made viewing difficult.

At the Fannyside roost area last night less than 100 birds came in from the north, with most settling on the large loch and the others going on to the muir pools.

On a more positive note it was nice to see some nice groups of Fieldfare and Redwing all showing well in the sunny conditions.
