Initially seen as I walked on to the Common. 4 Black and White birds circling around the flood, I knew what they were before I lifted my bins. They feinted to land a couple of times before eventually dropping into the west end of the flood. They became quite hard to pick out hiding in with the BHGs on the water. Eventually settled to sleep. At last, something our of the ordinary.
