Dale airfield - raven heaven

More like the Serengeti - 51 raven tucking into a dead sheep, with 2 foxes and 4GBB gulls - not surprisingly the ravens seemed to be calling the shots. 37 on the carcass plus 14 others sitting on fenceline. A second dead sheep with 8 ravens. Also: 2 dunlin, pair teal, 2 wheatear. Couple of wagtails passing over. Popped down to St Ann's - no sign of any wagtails. Family group of stonechat.
