Update on the Slamannan flock of Bean Geese

This past week has seen c150 birds feeding NW of Slamannan, with the rest of the flock further to the north of the area.

We now reckon we have about 212 birds this year but hopefully we will  get an accurate count in due course.

Roosting is still occurring at the Fannyside Lochs area.

A female Hen Harrier was seen on Garbethill Muir recently, a rare visitor these days as wintering birds have been scarce for some years now.
