A complete census 21 Oct Another granary census, 0800-1000, Details on reverse, 0820 ♀710 Wnt/DPink eating grit from below the sycamores. A fair amount of storing action but no defense. Everybody seen but ♂618. He should be around, certainly. 30 Oct Another watch here, 1045-1245. A real storing frenzy; 69 in the two hours; Most of the acorns came from the PO Hill side of the road, a few from the Big Valley Oak next to the car-park Complete census, except (once again) ♂618 not seen again!
