With all this rain we have been having the bean geese have not had to search much for drinking water or areas to roost in.
Roosting is still mainly done in and around the Fannyside Lochs area but with an additional roost site nr to Darnrig Moss.
Feeding areas recently have included fields north of Strathaven Farm some parts of Bandominie Farm and a few fields near Wester Lochgreen.
Birders are again asked not to be accessing fields with stock as most farmers are involved in tupping their sheep so please avoid disturbance to this activity.
Please be satisfied with a distant view as any approach will result in disturbance to the geese. Always remember they will see you before you see them.
I had two visitors from Liverpool this week and they went away happy with having seen c150 bean geese although at a fair distance.
