Brilliant morning right from the word go (at 0724hrs) with Redwing coming in all directions from 50ft down to almost ground level, the majority only 20ft down and at one time totally blanketting over 1/2 mile wide. Best party 500 and a couple of parties at 300...then started to quiet off by 0900hrs and by 1000hrs virtually no birds.
