Thought you might be interested in writing something about this very rare occurance; this picture was taken by Jane Ludlow on the 28/7/2010 on the S128 near the junction with the S30/S29.What is interesting is that the group has two females and one male. Normally there is only one female with an alpha male with helpers which normally consists of male birds. Females get kicked out after 3/4 years.

Regards

Scott
