0645hrs-1200hrs
Wind: N 5mph-10mph
Movement all West or North West unless stated otherwise..
Superb morning with Fieldfare dominating. Also Pink Feet making a appearance and all going NW-SE, one party of 90 seem to double back and then head West.. It soon became apparent that 95% of all thrushes where going through the valley of Deep Clough (a sort of funnelling down to 200ft wide corridor) so from 1000hrs I made my way down there so it wasnt necessary to use the bins as much, the birds where more or less going above me... and brilliant move it turned out to be wish I had done it a couple of hours earlier.....
