That's unusual, Tom, to see so many "down".  Probably en route to the Ribble estuary.

Yesterday at c15.00 hours 46 Pink Feet, disorientated presumably by the misty conditions, landed on a field (grazed by sheep) in Aspull and fed until dusk when they left, unfortunately I was unable to confirm in which direction. They had arrived fron an easterly direction - not unusual here at this time of year and day, but I have no previous records of birds "down".
