I notice the recent posts on here of a pied wagtail roost at Portland Street, Aberystwyth. I live in Aberaeron but have worked at Porton Down near Salisbury for over 6 years and this year, for the first time, I have noticed the large numbers of pied wagtails, in excess of 100, roosting on the main building roof at night. I’ve not seen this in recent years and wonder if for some reason their numbers are bucking the trend and are on the increase? Anyone else seen similar large roosts?

I have sent Shane a short reply about Pied Wag roosts, particularly in Aberystwyth, but other contributions are welcome.
