UKC

These where November 2012 in Moss Side. A mega flock. They would arrive in groups of 20 or 30, have a feed and then rotate.

It was a dull day, not the best light. But they are a stunning bird, and allow good views. 

In reply to mick taylor:

This was 2015 in Scholes in Wigan. 

In reply to mick taylor:

Love your birdy pictures, keep them coming plz.

In reply to mick taylor:

You lucky man! What a treat! Last saw a flock on a rowan tree in Morrison's car park in Kendal about 5 years back.

In reply to Rog Wilko:

Might be teaching you to suck eggs here so usual apology/caveat. 

I'm in a few local bird groups on Twitter/Facebook that are great for getting the lowdown on recent sightings and locations.

Bit trickier this year but some of the posters are absolute fanatics and just like Mick, they take some excellent pictures to live vicariously by.

P.S. Please keep them coming Mick 👍 

In reply to mick taylor:

Great pics, a few years back I crept up to a small flock sat resting in a tree, as I got close enough to photo I disturbed a pheasant which exploded upward on tbe usual manner and scared them all away. Not seen any since! 

In reply to mick taylor:

saw a white stoat a couple of days ago

In reply to mick taylor:

So, come on someone, how do you embed pictures/images into a post?

Tried to search but I'm obviously asking the wrong question!
