The recent bad weather has prevented me from getting out to look for the bean geese. I was out a couple of days ago and pleased to find two groups totaling 216 birds.
The largest group of 158 birds were just NW of Slamannan in one of their regular fields. The second group were further west and totaled 58 birds. Quite a few birds with collars attached were visible but not easily read in the poor light conditions.
They are likely to stay around these areas for a few days if not disturbed. I hope to get out tomorrow (Sunday) to check up on their whereabouts.
