8-00a.m. As I walked onto Tinklers Fields this morning 2 large black clouds appeared over Hunters Wood/Lords Wood then settled again back into the woods- at least 800-1,000 corvids, I was quite a distance away so couldn't tell if they were all jackdaws or rooks or a mixture, about 30 minutes later about 300 Jackdaws flew overhead.
Also 3-4 Jays, 4 Cormorant, 9 Mallard, 11 Meadow Pips, 1 Reed Bunting, a Tree Creeper with 6 LongT Ts, 1 Buzzard, 1 Kestrel and 4 Pheasants.
Corvids-Eccleston.
