SUMMARY:Rings\, Rings\, and Pings: Getting to Know our Local Geese
DESCRIPTION:How well do you really know our geese? \n\n\n\nJoin local goose expert Dr Larry Griffin for an informal evening exploring the lives of the wild geese that make Dumfries & Galloway their home each year. \n\n\n\nFrom traditional metal and brightly coloured leg rings to modern GPS trackers that let us follow their movements from our phones\, the ways we observe geese have changed dramatically. But what can these rings\, pings and sightings actually tell us about their lives\, journeys and the challenges they face? \n\n\n\nWith stories\, photographs and a presentation drawn from a lifetime of working with and following geese\, Larry will share what he’s learned along the way. \n\n\n\nCome for the geese. Stay for the stories. \n\n\n\nMade possible by Nith Life\, as part of Where In The Wild: A Wild Goose Festival Project. Bar open throughout. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Information\n\n\n\nFreeThis session will take place at The Stove Network and Cafe\, 100 High Street\, Dumfries \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility Information\n\n\n\nAccess to the BuildingLevel Access is available at the rear of the building through the adjacent close located to the left-hand side of the Café (when facing the front of the building).  \n\n\n\nHearing LoopWe have a hearing loop system installed in the café to support individuals using hearing aids or cochlear implants. \n\n\n\nPersonalised AssistanceIf you have any specific access needs\, please let us know\, and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
