Observation details

Continuing adult with Brents. Initially located from the seawall and views were pretty good from there but a bit distant, c. 150 m. After watching it for 20 minutes or so the entire flock took flight for no apparent reason and we lost it, but soon relocated it when the flock returned and landed. This happened again around 40 minutes later, not sure why, and on this occasion the flock was quite spread out when they landed, and some were quite close to the track that crosses the fields. Luckily the RBG was with them so we wandered back the way we came, gradually getting closer and closer to the Brent flock. Despite being in full view of them they proved to be surprisingly tolerant and confiding. Eventually got to within c. 40 m of the RBG and had stunning views.
