Late August update on migration of the Slamannan Bean Goose flock

Updates from our tracking data shows that one bird (tag24) is still in the breeding area in Dalarna County.

Is it still alive or has it died and its transmitter still working. One to follow up possibly.

Our pair of tag39 & 20 are in Sweden just to the east of Saffle. See map below.

Tags 27 & 18 are in Norway NE of Oslo at a spot on the Glomma river which is a usual stopover in spring and autumn. See map below.

News Update from Scandanavia

 I am pleased to say that four of our tagged birds that were caught and ringed
on 24 Oct 2019 have been located slightly south of their breeding area. 

Tag 24, 27 and our pair of tag20 with his mate tag39. 

I attach a screen shot from our tracking website where you can see exactly where they are at present. 

Still no information on breeding success and it is possible we will need to wait until they come further south, especially to an area near Oslo where Simon Rix checks out our birds and passes on information on what he is seeing.
