Taiga Bean Geese winter on the Slamannan plateau, near Falkirk, ranging over an area between Cumbernauld in the west and Shieldhill in the east. Each winter since 1997/98, non-standardised monitoring of field use has provided information on the distribution of Taiga Bean Geese in the Slamannan Plateau area. (See also 'Winter counts' page). The geese have been recorded in over 120 different fields on the plateau. Certain fields are more important for Taiga Bean Geese than others; each winter, on average fewer than 12 fields account for a third of all goose use.

Annual feeding distribution maps have been produced in the annual reports (see 'Downloads' page). The most recent feeding distribution map for winter 2025/26 is show below:
