On Friday I saw several Choughs apparently trying out last year's nest
by hopping into the nest and turning around in it. There doesn't seem to
be a good recording option for this breeding category in the COG
database for this - inspecting half-hollow? Later in the afternoon and
in the same area, a party of about 9 White-winged Choughs had a violent
interaction with about half of a party of about 15 White-winged Choughs.
The 15 Choughs then left and the 9 White-winged Choughs formed a tight
circle, facing inwards, and started dust bathing by picking up beak
fulls of dust and dropping it on their bodies. This morning one of the
choughs was adding mud to the nest, so it has progressed to nest building.
