Comments

There were again way too many, mostly juveniles to count but I identified up to 20 individuals. I am listing some of the un-ringed ones here as well as I have good photos of them interacting with each other.

Behaviour

They were mostly playing, some feeding on food left out by the grey house in the back. One un-ringed juvenile kept biting (or so it seemed) his own foot. One looked like a fledgling with some down fluff still visible.
