There was quite an impressive gathering of corvids in the dunes and at the Bluckspool area this morning - including not less than 82 ravens in the air together - much displaying, calling and landing on the coastal turf. Presumably they had been attracted by something dead in the area, although there was nothing particularly obvious.
There were also 2 merlins, a peregrine and 2 buzzards in the same area. Nearby in the dunes, there were at least 65 curlew, smaller numbers of golden plover and lapwing. No obvious choughs around though and otherwise generally quiet.
