There does not seem to have been any increase in our flock size since last reported at being a maximum estimate of 126
We do know however that two of our birds that were caught at Slamannan last October (Tag 39 & 20) are still in Denmark near Thisted and are in a flock of 300 taiga bean geese. This flock includes an adult white fronted goose which was seen in Sweden at Lake Brosjon during the autumn migration period.
As we have suspected in the past and have some evidence of it occurring some of our birds are liable to stopover in the low countries. Colder weather conditions however may make them cross over into the UK.
Attached are two pics taken this winter on the plateau.
