New update today on further movement north by Tag05

 Tag05 left northern Denmark just after 0900 this morning and flew direct to north east of Oslo by around 1400hrs. See below.

Update on spring migration

 We have received information from Dan Mangsbro in Sweden that a flock of taiga bean geese have been seen at Lake Brosjon. That is the place which we visited in the autumn and saw our birds on their autumn migration south.

Dan has reported a flock of 104 birds being seen now at Lake Brosjon. He was able to identify X3 and leg rings Y4 including a blue leg ring with no code. 

X3 and Y4 are birds believed to be short stopping in Denmark and not coming back to Slamannan now. 

I attach a picture of the latest information on tag5 which has been at Pandrup. It has recently been roosting in the sea as you can see from the picture. 

I have checked today the 23rd February but cannot get an up to date fix on Tag5. 

Update on Taiga Bean Goose. Spring Migration 2025

 A movement took place yesterday commencing at 0930 with a flock of bean geese leaving Slamannan for Denmark. 

This flight was recorded thanks to the GPS tracker on Tag5 which has given us superb information on the detail of the movement.

It is likely that previous movements of geese had taken place this spring but unrecorded due to lack of Tags on birds. 

See attachment below of flight information.
