Swan & Goose numbers

Interesting to see the article on the BBC Breakfast programme this morning about the decline in the number of swans and geese in England this year. Well, maybe that's because they've all decided to stay further north this year.

Over the last few weeks we have been seeing hundreds and hundreds of whooper swans and geese flying over the Tarbat peninsular. Far more than we've ever seen in recent years. Yesterday morning there were around 15 v-formations of geese flying overhead, with around 30-40 geese in each formation. Quite spectacular - and noisy!!
