C 2500 PF rose up from Manby area and came into roost on outer foreshore of ST nnr
Over past 2 weeks they have dispersed into various areas in different size flocks
It’s the national pink foot survey this weekend and we local birders will be assessing the number

Hey guys at present most of these reports cannot be added to the database as they either haven't got numbers associated with them so by default the total will become just one or perhaps more seriously there isn't a location given. It doesn't have to be specific but a general area is far more specific the just the Wolds. Thanks

The skeins I saw over Cleethorpes between 8am and 10am yesterday were perhaps part of the same Lincolnshire roosting flock. There was no fixed route - they were flying hither and thither, sometimes changing direction en route. It would be interesting to know the dispersal range of the ST nnr roosters and the various feeding locations.
