But have they made the right move

26th May 15             morning                 mid section

mostly cloudy,  10-13°c,  1023mb,  NW 11-13mph,

The Wetland mallards as David noted earlier have moved to the canal but is it the right move. They may have more food available but surely they were more secure against predators with the extra cover available at the Wetland site.
The parakeet flew in an arch from north to south over the Barleyfield and was lost to view behind the trees at the top.
