c140+
I decided to photograph every flock of Woodpigeons that passed between 0745 and 0815 this morning. I reckon c10,000+ in total. All the photos on this blog post represent just 30 minutes of movement, as observed from the Dung Field in this morning's biting northerly. My camera battery packed up at 0815 but I continued counting and stopped at 0900, by which time easily another 10,000 birds moved along the coast in an almost continuous 'ribbon'. So c20,000+ birds total, with birds still moving strongly as I left.
Also this morning - 1 Jack Snipe, 2 Lapwing, 1+ Golden Plover, c30+ Starling and 1 Reed Bunting.
On Maer Rocks there were 30 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, c10+ Turnstone and 2 Purple Sandpiper with 4 Common Scoter and a Pintail offshore.
