just as it was getting dark, I saw a flock of 50+ pied wagtails in B&Q car park - not seen this before
Popped in to RSPB Conwy on Sunday PM and the starlings were still doing their thing even in frankly awful weather...
Cheers, Found the facebook group thanks to Johnny Brown. Apparently Cavendish mill has been inactive for a couple of weeks now so will have to wait till next year
thinner than a kestrel with wings angled more backwards, flying around close to the ground
@Andy Popp - very jealous. Have you seen any deadly vipers/scorpions/things that might harm you?
Had a quick walk on Blacka Moor yesterday evening, saw a kestrel sized bird, but thinner than a kestrel with wings angled more backwards, flying around close to the ground. Really cool to watch. Any ideas what it was?
Hobby fits the description better but unlikely to be back from Africa yet. Any more info on the behaviour?
