There have been further movements of our bean geese in the last 24 hours.
At Saffle in southern Sweden, we still have Whit20 UCOL 39 (Pair)
Now in Dalarna county, we have Whit 24, UCOL 30, Whit 27 and Whit 18. We would expect the two birds still at Saffle to move north to the usual breeding areas.
Bean Goose website news:
We now have all of our Bean Goose reports including some Commissioned reports that have been completed in past years available now on the bean goose website
Please visit the website at https://sites.google.com/view/scotlands-bean-geese
The recent report for 2019/2020 covers in great detail all of what we think is important for the future health of our flock. I thank Brian Minshull and Rick Goater for their commitment and expertise in the producing of the reports in recent years.
I thank our webmaster Carl Mitchell of WWT who does all of the maintenance of the website in his own time.
Much of the knowledge on the migration of our flock has only been possible due to the wealth of information that the GPS tags have given us. These come at a cost of £1200 each. As you can imagine we do not have a steady source of income to purchase these and I would appeal to anyone be it an individual, wildlife group or company who would like to sponsor a tag to get in touch with me at angus.maciver184@gmail.com. Any amount small or large would be appreciated
