mitre 214 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 It's great to see them flying around in the evenings or sometimes earlier in day while they here I remember one flying through a neighbours open bathroom window it must of landed in the bathroom sink it was fine the fellow had to throw the bird up in the air to get it to fly as they have no legs really They Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every year I find it incredible that they’ll stop off here on their way to the north. Some will stay and the rest end up where they were born. Amazing animals 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,802 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 There was two big groups this morning, 60+ birds that put on a fairly spectacular display of feeding on the wing for about an hour . There also seemed more birds this year and a week or two earlier . It would seem they did well down in Africa during the winter . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
