We were out yesterday in Beds on some barley spring drillings. Not many pigeon about but all of a sudden i spotted a large flock of birds approaching the field. From a distance they looked like pigeon but they weren't flying right. They were swooping about like a large mass of starlings in the autumn. One large mass all flying in unison. As they flew over me they looked about the same size as a pigeon but with swept back wings, like a swift. Eventually they landed on mass and started to feed. Even the odd shot didn't seem to bother them. They lifted and circled the field and dropped down again. I think they were some sort of wader but can't work out what they would be in the middle of Bedfordshire. Any ideas on what they were? There must of been between 500- 700 in the flock.
