With a new season nearly upon us it is my pleasure to give our readers an update on bean goose migration.

 We have information recently from Dan in Sweden that up to 176 Taiga Bean Geese have arrived in their usual place near Saffle in Sweden.

A few days later it was noted that the other flock had moved south towards another usual spot north of Oslo where Simon Rix reports on the birds as they move through his locality. 

On top of this five of our Bean Goose Advisory Group are jetting out to Sweden on Monday for a  four day trip to meet up with our contacts, Dan in Sweden and Simon in Norway. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to get together socially and bond with both Dan and Simon who  help us so much study this group of birds. 

I look forward in reporting back to you with hopefully some pics of the bean geese.
