Try turning up your gain manually as much as you can without obscuring the
screen. Some of the fishing boats around here can see flocks of birds
feeding, indicating fish.

Is there a way to tune our small boat radars to help see birds? I have a
JRC

Hey, don't laugh. I tracked something one day that had to be either a
bird
or a UFO. Although I'd have preferred to see the latter, I have to
believe
it was a bird.

I've heard the air defense radars follow easily crows and other
reasonable
size birds. And that it isn't nice for the birds - somehow they can
detect
it and tries to dodge.
