Walked to the Coldrum Stones as dusk was setting. There was a massive flock of mixed crows in and above the fields opposite. Mainly jackdaws, there were also crows and a I could detect a few rooks from their calls. Although there is a large rookery just a couple of miles away, this is the first time I have seen these birds around the village.
What does surprise me about these birds is their persistence in taking the opportunity to feed until the last possible moment. Even with the light rapidly fading, there remained some birds upon the stubble.
