    looks like the black headeds are on their way in then - 30ish on thursday, 70+ today - wonder if we'll get the numbers we saw last year? As ever though you can hear them as soon as you get out of the car (reminds me of one quiet evening at Leighton Moss - better spending time there than in the fleshpots of Blackpool where I was unlucky enough to be working)
