Goose catch Longyearbyen

24 July 2010 22:00

As soon as the geese are caught, we start building an extra pen to hold the goslings. You can see the goslings among the geese. Christiaane is proceesing the blood.

How to turn an opportunity in a goose catch. I was travelling north, Thomas, Jouke, Eva and Siets were travelling south. We all would meet in Longyearbyen were I have been ealier catching barnacle geese. Those were moulting non-breeders who made a moult migration to the lake Isdammen. Now we go for the local families. Christiaane Hübner is contact person in Longyearbyen. At 19:30 hour, we gather at the polar bear sign on the road to Isdammen. The goose families are grazing on the east side of the road. They run the wrong direction when we try to bring them on the water of Isdammen. Two people in survival suits assist bringing the geese on land. We start ringing, measure biometrics, sexing, blood sampling and weighing. Everyone has a task. Special help from Jesper and René, old friends and also goose specialists. Two hours after mid night, we have ringed 92 geese.

We gather near the polar bear sign. Everyone has a task. 04:00 Jouke returns the canoes to

Thanks to all participants. You were a fantastic team.
