Third day of arctic geese
migration. Today altogether 2 275 geese were counted on migration.
The majority (around 80%) among indentified ones has been Great
White-fronted Geese/ suur-laukhani Anser albifrons 1 100 (best of the
autumn season). Beside that 295 Bean Geese/ Anser fabalis has been
counted and 880 Anser sp/ määramata hani. Barnacle Geese/
valgepõsk-lagle Branta leucopsis migration does not reach as far
south as Kihnu island - the majority of Barnacles migration passes
northwestern Estonia. Therefore only 6 migrating Barnacles has been
counted today.
