Observation details
Stood in a different location (near ACT Canine section of EPIC) to see the RRPs gathering rather than arriving. (Did not stand of Fed Highway but back in EPIC more. Also this observation a bit shorter than prev. occasions) Birds gathered in a bare deciduous tree at the back of the Canine grounds. Approx 77 in the tree at max. Birds then gathered in close by trees - nb not the elms near MacDonalds but more on the Canine surrounds. I did not see any large groups arrive as on prev occasions. Some birds also gathered on wires but mostly about 10 at a time. At 5pm 3 birds flew in directly to the poplar at MacDonalds. After than - 5:02pm the RRPs made their way across to the roosting pines and some visited the elm briefly (about 10). At 5:10 there was a re-settling in the pine trees when 20 flew out, to re-settle quickly afterwards.
