Great news today, our first flock have been seen on the Slamannan Plateau today.

 A visit today confirmed that 92 birds have arrived at one of their usual haunts on the plateau. 

They were found to the north west of Slamannan village. 

Can I remind any birders that they are a sensitive flock of birds and are easily spooked, so no entering fields for a better view or photographs. The geese are very easily spooked and remember they will see you before you see them. It up helps us too if you do not upset the farmers whose land the birds use during the winter period. You will be seen and monitored !

Please stay on minor roads in the area and view the birds from there. A telescope can be very useful for a closer look. Enjoy seeing our now rarest flock of wintering geese in the UK.
