Me and Julie arrived on site about 12pm and the bird was showing quite well perched in the middle of a Hawthorn bush. Other birders present had placed some mealworms onto a small grassy mound. After a short while the bird started moving around in the bush and then flew down onto the mound where the mealworms had been placed, grabbed a few and flew back into the bush. The bird done this quite a few times while we were there but it was only on the mound for a few seconds at a time so you had to be quick to get any pics!
2 Raven's were flying over calling.
