They left Norway in a northern gale and instead of coming ashore at the River Forth they were blown south and landed in England just north of Norwich. Within a couple of days had re-orientated themselves to return to their wintering quarters in central Scotland. <br />It is only with this type of technology attached to the birds that we are now aware of their abilities in navigation.<br />Angus Maciver<br />Bean Goose Monitoring Officer SlamannanAngus Maciverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107504726151802426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135791322315120406.post-48066831930343748722017-08-07T08:43:22.406+01:002017-08-07T08:43:22.406+01:00Thanks for the report Catherine and it does seem t...Thanks for the report Catherine and it does seem to be a regular there.

In these situations it's always best to leave birds to their own devices if possible, just to ensure they receive the correct food and also the least disturbance. It's probably illegal to NOT release this bird as you're effectively taking a wild bird into captivity, so it'd be best to pop it back in the box as soon as possible and hope it fledges OK.Mark Granthamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846208560470995839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135791322315120406.post-28749823425141657072016-10-07T00:47:04.187+01:002016-10-07T00:47:04.187+01:00Hi I have saved a baby stock dove and at night I b...Hi I have saved a baby stock dove and at night I bring him indoors, feed him then put him back outside in the morning in the box that I have made for him so that his parents can come by and feed him. There was two of them but one flew out of the box and we lost sight of him. He came back the following day when the parents returned to feed the one in the box and thankfully they fed him too. Sadly the next morning when I put the box back out there were feathers everywhere and no sign of the other baby :( The other baby has now grown and can fly a bit but I'm worried about letting him fly away in case he two gets attacked. What should I do? I'm happy to keep bringing him indoors, he now sits on our hands whilst I feed him! And the dog adores him!! But obviously he needs to be outside in the wild. How do I know that he is strong enough to survive? And where would he sleep at night? Would appreciate any advice!
