Combination dog walk and Gang-gang photography this morning. Standing on Rocky Knob (0710-0740) I could hear GGs from all points of the compass.  Very hard to count but conservatively at least 20.  A post-roosting pre-feeding aggregation.  By 0730 they had largely dispersed with just the odd croak heard now. In below blue-framed part flock only 2 of 8 appear to be males, but there are 5 of 9 in the other (red framed) flock.  Most are open-billed (eg inset), giving an idea of the cacophony at the height of the gathering.
