No, just at this site. Usually 5-7 regular territories, but still time for migrants to return. There are around 100 territories in Thetford Forest and lots more in the rest of Norfolk and Suffolk.

NOT SPAM. But I was reported and nothing I can do. So this account will be inactive: find me on LinkedIn, the only platform working well.
At least the bots can flourish here. Sigh.
