Originally we thought that the first group of birds arrived on 6 October but we have deduced that this was not correct.
Further information was gleaned and seemingly the first group of c100 birds arrived on 23rd September.
One of our observant farmers did say to us when we were out and about that he had been hearing geese prior to our own thinking.
Trying to get to grips with arrivals this year has been difficult due to the weather we have been getting which has been particularly misty early in the day for almost a week.
Roosting has been occurring at the Fannyside Muir sites and little elsewhere. We have used a night drone to good effect, thanks to Roger, one of our latest recruits to the group.
We are planning to try and catch some more birds this winter and at present we are waiting word on whether the purchase of collars has gone ahead as hoped.
