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.
