The Hall Travelling Stock Reserve this morning was very quiet with no mixed flocks.

Later in the developing suburb of Taylor , north east of Hall I saw 140 Rock Doves. A bit hard to count as they were disturbed 3x by a tractor I counted them 3x and reckon 140 is about right. They were feeding on newly sown grass covered by straw and bitumen with wheat seeds to pick at.  At the corner of Sutherland and Everist Streets in a fenced off area.
