Fresh news update by Dan yesterday.
On a visit to Lake Brosjon he recorded a taiga bean goose flock of 220 birds. He also identified V6 and a partner and leg ring Y4 also with a partner.
This is a very good total of birds and many thanks to Dan for his observations.
Fresh news in today from Dan who has been out looking for Taiga Bean Geese at Brosjon. He recorded 33 birds on 8 March and on the 14th the flock total had risen to 137. No collars or leg rings were seen.
Thanks to Dan for his work in looking for our birds on their spring migration and reporting his findings to us.
We have had confirmation from Simon Rix that he has been out looking for our bean geese and has managed to take some super pictures and movie film of our birds on his patch.
It is all available to see on Simon's blog, see Oslobirder.blogspot.com
I can recommend viewing it if you follow or are interested in the Taiga Bean Geese that winter near Falkirk.
We have changed the format of our annual reports and we now have available the 24/25 report available at

This is a simplified report than previous but contains all the facts of the winter period which is of interest to birders that follow this species in the UK.
