Tuesday September 18th 2007 - Haslingden Laund 0700hrs - 0815hrs Wind: NNW 4-5mph Movement: South unless stated otherwise.
Extremely cold, thick frost on windscreen. Nice parties of Goldfinch going through and my first PFG's of the year (2days behind normal). But still no Pipits, and very few Swallows...
Hi Jean (vismig), glad to hear your back on line. Yes your right it has been clear to the East in comparison over the past week or so and that might be the reason for the East side getting the birds, but take today it was clear throughout, yet still no birds. In over 20 years of vismigging I have never known this situation before with the Pipits running so late. Also the Swallows have been but a handful, I know Swallows move later in morning, but even so we generally get a few hundred in the first hours or so between the 10th and 15th September, but I can only recall having about 20 or so this year...
