EmailBritish conservationists have tagged more than 90 endangered red-breasted geese to solve a 10-year-old mystery.
Britain's Wildfowl and Wetlands Conservation Trust has teamed up with the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds to find out what happened to 50,000 geese that disappeared from their wintering grounds near the Black Sea.
Conservationists are trying to determine whether the birds found a new site in Asia or fell victim to hunting, development or changes in farming along their 6,000km migration to breeding grounds in Arctic Russia.
