16.04 News from the hot spot

I am sitting in the middle of the eye of the storm. The geese storm:) Trøndelag is partly covered by snow but geese do not seem to bother. Almost half of the population is already here (as estimated by Per Ivar:). The landscape looks very different than last year. Many fields have been ploughed recently or at the end of last season and fields which were pasture last year are now 'black'. Me and Jannik read some neckbands and found some Rs -  geese neck banded this year so they are doing well. 4 of our tagged geese are on their way to Trøndelag. And other 4 are already here (Ingunn, Lukasz, R62, Danuta). Some took a rest at Tyrifjorden (Ingunn, R62, R58,R37) and Mjøsa (R33) around Oslo. I will do my best to update you with newest positions and pictures as often as possible but I am very busy doing my fieldwork so any apology for delay.
