Finally got there early enough this morning to witness the Corvid roost dispersing from Haw Park at 06.40 hrs. Around 30 minutes before sunrise there was a mass evacuation of at least 3,000 Jackdaws, Crows and Rooks from the roost which all leave together. Numbers will build up through the winter, with up to double that seen in recent years. Its all over in around 3 minutes with birds leaving to the north and south at the moment. We would need them to leave to the east, which would take them over the Country Park, in order to get a chance of Raven or even Hooded Crow.
American Wigeon and immature Scaup were still on Botany Bay this morning.
