User's notes
Formerly, flocks of over 40 would congregate in DSW opposite a house in which they were fed trays of mince by a citizen of O'Connor. Some of these birds would fly over Barry Drive to get to the free food. Now, this species is mostly completely absent from DSW. Note the ring on the left leg.
