Hi all
The current flock probably arrived on the 25/26 September as they were located on site at Luckenburn on the 27th.
A visit on the 1 October gave lovely views of a flock of 140 geese.
As we have one live GPS collar (Tag30) we were able to follow the flight from southern Norway down the North Sea to the coastal area on the east coast around Eyemouth. They quickly changed direction to their usual wintering grounds near Slamannan.
I have managed to read some collars: 6X, 7V, S8, 6Z, 3Y, Tag4 (yellow ring on left leg),
Tag30 and its mate 6U.
Note: Birdwatchers beware of parking on the main road at Luckenburn as it is a busy through road between Greengairs and Slamannan. On no account should you park in the road leading to Luckenburn Farm. A safer place to park is at Shielknowes road end and observe the geese from there. On no account enter any of the fields occupied by the geese.
