South hams hunter 8,803 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I managed to count atleast 20 but there may have been more. They all seem to have this distinct ring just above there chest and have been there for atleast 3 days. Got a few pics but not the clearest I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,803 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 It's the fact there was 20 and they didn't seem to be feeding. I was wondering if it could be rough legs migrating through Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 24,886 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Saw the same thing last year on a freshly ploughed field I assumed they were feeding on worms they are a pretty good scavenger taking advantage of easy meals rather than pure hunters ?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) There are a few around here in Kent. Sometimes they are wheeling around quite high up in the sky. I noticed them by their high pitched calls. I've not seen them eating from a carcass or anything. I've seen them perched up in a tree several times but other times they are up on the football fields. They could be feeding on worms or just out there. And no I wouldn't know what sort of soil it is. Edited May 9, 2019 by Meece Quote Link to post Share on other sites
