Interesting how the windy conditions make the ground feeding birds huddle into more compact flocks than usual.
In just one group there were 25 Jackdaws, 14 Rooks and 8 Carrion crows, feeding together.
A good place to look at their differences, the turf being so short, or especially if they are scavanging around the fishshop tables.
Incidentaly, the local name "The Moor" seems inappropriate but there is a photograph in exsistence, I think its in one of the Old Halifax books, of the area looking something like Norland Moor does at present - all heathery with sandy criss-crossing paths.
