Hulme Community Garden Centre 22-12-21. Flock of 13 flew across East to West for the third time this week all early morning. Unlike the other mornings a group of 4 followed them a couple of minutes later and then a flock of 21, in 3 loose groups, followed within a further 2 to 3 minutes.
20 minutes later I heard further calls and found 3 individuals in treetop, NW corner of centre. 1 eventually departed and the other 2 flew onto the adjacent telephone tower. Watched one for several minutes nibbling the wires. First time in a month Ive seen any come into our trees.
