Update from Slamannan 18 October 21

 Dear All

Pleased to report that our numbers have continued to rise and now stand at a healthy total of c231 birds.

We have so far been able to identify six birds with collars/leg rings. Some dating back to 2011.

Our next task is to identify the juveniles within the flock and for that we need good viewing weather and for the birds to be settled in areas where vantage points are available.

For this task it is imperative that anyone viewing the birds does not disturb them as it makes them jumpy when they see people around the locations where they are feeding/preening/sleeping.
