Observation details
This is a rough count/calculation from photos we took. One photo that showed just a section of the cloud of flying PESA held about 900 birds. There were at least twice as many birds in the air at that time with many more hundreds still on the ground. They were scattered throughout the flooded fields and areas of grass and stubble, sometimes making the green grass strips appear gray when the shorebirds landed on them, packed closely together. Birds as far as the scope reached, everywhere. An unbelievable spectacle.
