Yesterday (12/12/2009) Kevin McManus and myself attempted a count of the Pied Wagtail roost at Sutton. Birds started coming in at c.16:05 and no new birds arrived after c.16:22. During this c.17 minute period, 160 PIED WAGTAILS (give or take a couple, maybe) flew in to roost in a single tree near Waterstones along Sutton High Street, giving an average of 9.4 birds arriving per minute. A great birding spectacle in the local area.
