What an extraordinary sight, Dave. When I saw the title of your post I thought you had put a "Newspaper Headline get creative" in the wrong thread :o) |

amazing stuff !.... i remember ,years ago ,a Swan head up traffic on the Alexandria parade in Glasgow's east end . it must have mistaken the road for a river or canal ....there's a pond in the nearby park so maybe that was it's intended destination . it's a busy road though and the traffic had to wait until it ran along ,gathering speed for take off ! |

Incredible sight Dave, it looks as though they were eating the grit/salt that had been dropped on the road. I've seen birds doing that before, but not in such large numbers. |

That's astonishing!! - Thanks for the link Dave Audrey, I've seen Collared Doves and Pigeons pecking the grit/sand around the grit bins here too. |

Yes, grit is a big draw. In weather like this I mix in some bird cage grit with the bird food. That's a great sight. |
