Pink Sunset

October is often the best time of year to see the pink-footed geese at Montrose Basin at their peak numbers. They return to the Basin every evening to roost. Enjoy the spectacle together with a sunset over the reserve, with expert knowledge from Scottish Wildlife Trust staff.

Wear warm clothing. Bring a camping chair and torch. Minimum age: 12.

The end time of this event is flexible, depending on what the geese are doing! You are very welcome to leave before the end time if the temperature starts to get a bit too cold.

GooseFest

GooseFest (1-11 October) is a celebration of the tens of thousands of pink-footed geese that Montrose Basin is internationally important for. October is when the numbers of geese usually peak on the reserve, and they are best seen at sunrise and sunset. See the full GooseFest programme of events here.
