Hi all
Pleased to say that we have had an influx of beans this past few days.
This morning in a fresh westerly wind we saw c117 birds near where they had been yesterday. Sadly the farmer who owns the field appeared in a 4x4 and disturbed them. He was probably checking on his cattle and calf's.
They moved west several hundred metres and re-located for a short while before moving again further west.
We followed them and had better counts of c135 birds including some birds with collars.
See Below for collar 24 and 27. collar 6U was also noted but its mate Tag30 was not seen
Both of the above birds were caught and ringed on 24/10/2019 at Luckenburn Farm courtesy of the farmer Derek Hunter
