Latest news from the satellit-geese

Posted on May 21, 2011 by Per Ivar Nicolaisen

It seems like our tagged geese do not like each other. Lots of reorganization up North but it seems like each goose found its place. Four out of six tagged geese were seen with a pair and about other two we do not have data. So now it is all about finding a nice place for nest………

All 6 birds are ‘with us’ again. 5 in Svalbard (one in Sassendelen, one in Adventdalen, one in Tempelfjorden, one in Isfjord Radio and one on Edgeøja) and one on its way. Note that the ‘pink’ goose did not even stop in Vesterålen.

Geese arrival in Vesterålen

Posted on May 16, 2011 by Johnny Bakken

Lots of pinkfeets arriving this afternoon/evening (15th of May) in Vesterålen. Ingunn spotted the Red-breasted goose in Grytting area, and of course I had to go out to watch this beautiful bird – great experience :-)) So now, I am looking forward to going to Andøya this night, to see whether some pfeets have landed. Only 100 pf and 2200 barnacles in the afternoon (15th of MAy) – I have expectations ! :-)
