Kye Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 ...over these last couple of days a formation of large birds flying in a tight flock in our skies? I think that they might be Albatrosses, as the size and grouping of their organic ordinance carpet bombed the side of my car top to bottom!! Car is now cleaned and shiny again. Now to wait for them to inevitably return on the next raid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with Canada geese too, usually get various flocks of them flying over here in V-formation honking as they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B13 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We'll be getting a lot of birds come down from the Arctic Circle to over-winter here. You know how swallows and swifts leave us in August and fly to Africa for the Winter? They're replaced by their much heftier 'cousins' who will stay with us until Spring and they fly back North (coz our Summers are weirdly, to hot for them!!) :D Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B13 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 swallows/swifts in august,ur having a laugh.there still here down my way. Bliemy!! That's leaving it a bit late! But then again, what with the very wet Spring we had, normal breeding patterns were probably screwed up...

B13 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Can't say I blame 'em. Damn fine plan, toddling off elsewhere to avoid our bog-awful Winter weather, IMHO!! Hmm... I need a job where I can migrate to where the sunshine is too!! :D Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
