Masses of Corvids moving around on the moor
The Nab
Fly Flatts 0800-1030hrs Icy roads leading to the reservoir, puddles froze over, cold N>4 Bright with good visibility but hazy to the south.
A good start off to the morning but empty skies from 0915hrs although DCB/HC started getting big numbers of Fieldfare after 1000hrs but these were hidden from me by the Nab and all moving to the NE of my position.
Woodpigeons were the main movers but a good selection of species came through but only in small numbers.
Fly Flatts itself was deadly quiet which seems to be the norm recently, I dont know what has happened to this area of late?
