GooseFest at Montrose Basin
About This Event
GooseFest is back this autumn, marking the return of tens of thousands of pink-footed geese to our Montrose Basin Wildlife Reserve.
Seeing the first skeins of geese flying overhead is a significant moment in nature’s calendar – a sure sign that autumn is upon us. We’re celebrating this magical moment with almost two weeks of exciting events and activities, and we hope you’ll join us.
