A classic example for reinforcing the rule of reporting the biggest flock (ie 30 birds) and not the total.  Of course, if your site in beautiful downtown Duffy should be graced by a larger single flock before next Saturday then that should be come the week's record.

There are small numbers overflying my part of Carwoola this morning.  Mainly ones and twos but as they are consistently heading towards Hoskinstown I think they are on their way. As it was only 6 degrees here this morning they have certainly got a hint.

While working in the garden again, small groups have been passing over my house every 10 minutes or so from about 11.30am to 12.30.  Groups range in size from 30 to 6 birds.  I estimate seeing about 100 birds today but probably missed quite a few as I was wearing ear muffs against the noise of my trimmer.
