Update information on Taiga Bean Geese at Slamannan

 After the arrival on 27th September of the flock of birds from Norway, it is now believed that we have had another arrival, possibly of more birds from the Swedish group that we saw during our visit in early September.  

Recent visits to the plateau would indicate that we now have c167 birds, which is about similar to the total we had last year. 

Unfortunately they are not showing well in daylight hours at present but feeding in a remote part of the plateau, cunning devils..

As is usual at this time of the year we would ask interested birders to adhere to sensible behaviour and not upset the farming community that we rely upon to care for our flock. Thank you..
