We now have confirmation that bean geese were still present at Fannyside Muir on the 9th at 0700hrs but not present there on the 10th. One of our live tagged birds (29) is now showing up in Denmark since the 11th so would indicate a movement between 9th/10th of Feb.
However there have been reports of some possible bean geese still around the Fannyside Muir area. Further observations are in progress.
This movement is the earliest recorded for springtime movements of our flock.
