Update on Slamannan Bean Geese flock

 We have at least 49 birds left at Slamannan after further movements of our birds to Denmark within the last week. 

A birder in Denmark reports a flock of 130 bean geese at Pandrup including our marked birds V6 and 4 gps tags 20, 18 27 and 39.

Weather outlook for the area for early February is very cold with temperatures below zero. 

Will be interesting to see if they make any movements during that period. 

This early movement of our flock is confirming how our flock are reacting to weather temperatures and patterns. 

We still have two tags showing at Slamannan which is helpful for locating our birds.
