300 in Allenvale Cemetery. Aberdeen today. This is more than the average for this time of year, but at a regular spot.
Although the birds are very mobile. I spent a while after lunch wandering round the cemetery and didn't see a thing. When I got home, I discovered 200 had been seen there in the morning and 300 later in the afternoon! Still plenty of berries on the trees though.
I had a peak of 600 there today. Berries will only last another few days if the birds are present in numbers again tommorrow !
Only 600, Linz?
I was there all afternoon until dusk. I had a 'loose' maxima of 622 in the trees at the old folks flats. Every year we usually get around 200 birds at this site. There were about 3x or at most 3.5x that amount there today in my opinion, pretty much double what was there were yesterday.
Birds went to roost at about 4.15pm.
We'll see what tommorrow brings !

Every year, are you sure? Dating back how long? Just interested. Regards Gordon
