We usually have lots of wild birds. In fact, when it comes to geese and swans we can have rather too many especially when they are grazing our crops.
This time of year we usually have a flock of 5 -800 Canadas and Greylags grazing stubbles.
This year we have about 10 only.
The ducks seem fine, unlike other peoples stories our wood pigeons are dropping out of trees.
Doesn't seem to have affected the rooks though they are behaving differently - roosting on our pastures rather than in the trees a few miles away where they have been going on autumn evenings ever since anyone local can remember.
Bad picture but it was almost dark - several hundred there.
