Spiderdude Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Seen a lot of large flocks in both West & North Yorkshire whilst driving up and down M1 & A1. Went out Saturday, but not many on the fields where I was, stacks of crows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

army646 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I travel up and down the country on a weekly basis and there is very little activity at the moment. They are definately feeding on natures harvest in the woods. We could do with some really good hard frosts to make the rest of the leaves drop to cover up the beech mast and acorns and drive them onto the rape. I have seen an odd larger flock on the move early on in the morning. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
