I get seagulls and pigeons flocking onto my roof and it's not funny because of their lack of toilet training. I think as we humans have increasingly encroached on natural habitats, the creatures that don't die off will adapt to living with us. That includes trying to snatch carrion off the roads in between traffic.

Yorkshire folk are proud of their stubborn persistence, so it shouldn't be surprising if the birds are equally so. 😄

I drive at 5:15am, I get the same, but they keep my driving speed down. Noticed it more recently, must be the heat.

Oh gosh! I live in Yorkshire and haven’t noticed this phenomenon, but I’ll look out for it.

I remember thinking this a few years ago when I almost kept getting hit by birds every time I was walking. It turns out it was nesting season.

I think they're fat with an abundance of food and a little bit dozy in this heat, like the rest of us. Last night I saw two enormous fallow deer waddling out of the woods.

Get the fu stare from pigeons on our roads. Magpies just been so noisy this summer. My wife reckons it's due to drought less food for the little ones so they're antsy.

Where abouts in Yorkshire ?

In Yorkshire eh? Only there?

Perhaps they've flown in from t'other county.

Could be they are affected by the heat, unless that's not as bad in the North.

Tell them to flock off 😊
