Conjuring X-Files Birds is a bit like having fudge factors in physics, for gaps in knowledge that can’t be explained.

Watching with immense interest as we move towards end of autumn (mid to end of next month), when more cold tolerant geese, swans etc into winter quarters. If wild birds really spreading it around, surely should be plenty more outbreaks with strong links to wild birds; till now, a great many birds have moved, across great swathe of Eurasia, but outbreaks v few.
All the best,
