News from Simon in Oslo

 As predicted our man in Norway, Simon has been out and found c100 bean geese, so that is great news indeed. He has a long distance shot taken on his blog (oslobirder.blogspot.com) of the bean geese. Some nice shots too of other species in his area.

Update on spring migration of Tag5

 Tag 5 (blue marker has now moved north from its staging post near Pandrup in Denmark. The flight line shows its movement to north east of Oslo to its usual staging post at Akershus on the Glomma river system.

Simon in Oslo says it is still cold so hopefully our bean geese will find suitable feeding areas. 

I am expecting Simon to be out looking for our flock and reporting back as to individuals with collars and flock size. This information will probably appear on his own blog. (oslobirder.blogspot.com)

Tag39 (red marker) is still in Sweden near Saffle.
