Not sure how recent this pic is, but I found it this morning on AOL. Amazing!  |

hiya
I live very close to Gretna and go and watch the roost 2-3 times a week during the autumn and winter.
It is, indeed, very active just now - I only just saw your message, so don't know if you have been yet.
Don't worry though, as if you haven't, there are still a few months to go before it breaks up.
Current numbers are estimated to be around half to three-quarters of a million, and last night, against a stunning sunset was the best I have seen so far.
The AOL picture above looks like one that was recently in the Daily Mail, as they are flying and roosting in a different location this year compared with the last two or three.
