Hypocolius

Only a small number of birds were seen today at the roost (26)- but others were seen dropping into a large walled garden 1 km south of the current roost. If this is the site of an other roost there is little chance of unrestricted access as this garden belongs to a VIP who (including his properties) is surrounded by high security.
The maximum numbers seen on any single day this week was 46
