On our way out we found a flock of ~30 gp rooting about 170m
behind us, also at least 10 gp rooting in the old grid 9 area by
the farmhouse.
The flights into the rooting area came mostly up from the SW along the spartan,
this was particularly true of Prividali, many of which followed a break-in-the-
pattern which led into the coast. (to see journal + sighting records for totals)
