There have been no positive sightings of bean geese in the Slamannan area so far this autumn.
On checking the blog of Simon the Oslo birder today on his return from a birding trip to the Lofoten Islands he has checked out the bean geese flock and found the same group of birds in residence.
He has posted some pictures of same and they can be seen at oslobirder.blogspot.co.uk
I would imagine that our geese would wait for favourable winds and weather conditions before deciding to move.
The westerly gales that we have at present are not conducive for geese flying the north sea to Scotland.
