Thank you. I did a little online research which seemed to suggest they might be Scandinavian birds tracking down through the UK to winter in France, Iberia or even N.Africa....Whatever, an amazing sight, never thought I'd be that in awe of humble Woodpigeons!

Yesterday morning 07:00-07:45, we had c.5000 flying SSE over the South Downs here in Sussex. A couple of flocks were massive & must have each contained 1000+ birds. An incredible sight, never seen that many Woodpigeons on the move before - wonder where they all came from & where are they heading to?

Some of the birds at Pagham Harbour RSPB yesterday; a flight of Pintail & Brent geese (good numbers of juvs in family groups - easily told from adults by pale edged feathers on upper wings). Also a Peregrine perched on top of the very tall comms mast at the Ferry, there's often one up there...

The First Minister must stop this project.

There's still time to stop Berwick Bank...but only if we make ourselves heard.

Add your voice and tell them.

Happy Birthday Owen, fab pic!

Thanks very much for the info Ian.

Thank you, presumably the ducks are there for most of the winter?

Thanks Owen, I saw Martin had refound it - good work! Is that practically the same spot where there was one several years ago?
