User's notes

Four of them had bands on their legs. I've managed photos of some of the bands for reporting but not good light or clear a view of the legs due to grass etc. They were however, very tame allowing me to walk right up to them without taking flight.

I suspect a slip of the mouse or a wrong tern (oops), I mean turn of the mouse wheel. Choughs for sure.
