Birding for fun
Evening All,
Was out in the garden counting the increase in gulls heading to their wintering quarters at 7.45pm when high above I noticed a long line of birds heading south east. Basically in a flattened m shape. I think golden plover, however, does anyone know of a particular wader sp that flies high, at speed, in such an obvious formation. By flattened m, I mean a long line with a few lagging behind at the end of the flock. Sorry if not too definitive, but by the time I went in, got bins, they were a long way off. Must have been at 3000 feet.
cheers and thanks for any suggestions.
best regards,
Jono
