Sandy Haven area

Near the top of Sandy Haven where the turkey sheds are a smart Red Kite this morning along with half a dozen Buzzards and quite a few Ravens. I guess the discards from the farm are attracting birds in this cold weather. I recall very large flocks of Ravens a couple of years ago.

On many fields in this area groups of Lapwing altho' largest flock only around 300. The garden area at Mullock Bridge is very quiet.
