This what I mean by depiction of ranges.
Image depicts two flock territories maintained during much of the 2014 production season. Roost are depicted by blue circles and feeding station by yellow suns. Blue is ditch going through fen dominated by tall thick grass. Only place birds could cross easily was a bridge near large tree in red territory. Territory outlines depicted were maximal, they could contract at times. Ranges contracted markedly when feeding stations where well armed and that was particularly noteworthy for the red territory where the upper and lower lobes where not visited. Yellow territory was not as impacted in part because of foraging demands placed by chicks. Red territory did not have chicks. Disputes were centered on bridge area. Roosters would drive hens not their own back across bridge but would mate them if they could first.
Using a satellite view from Google Earth, I transferred it to a drawing program and drew in points of interest.
