Media notes
Many of the birds were constantly quivering their spread tails, and frequently scratching the ground with one foot. Presumably this is a feeding activity, but when two birds started to get close to each other the tail fanning and shivering intensified. This turf farm is a traditional wintering location.
Observation details
Did a careful count using scope. This turf farm is a traditional wintering location. On this day many of the birds were constantly quivering their spread tails, and frequently scratching the ground with one foot. Presumably this is a feeding activity, but when two birds started to get close to each other the tail fanning and shivering intensified.
