Up to 6 separate groups, mainly juveniles, in trees and bushes around the Pang meadows. One tight group of 20 seen in flight, and judging by similar level of noise from the other groups, total was probably 50-100. Obviously a successful breeding season, and fat balls are now being rationed on our nearby garden feeders!
