Thanks for giving me a ring with regards Redwing, much appreciated. After spending a hour or so at Burton watching out for them and having no joy I decided decided at 1030 to go to Shore Road at Carnforth to see if they were going through at that point, but again sadly the skies were empty of Thrushes, but it was a splended hour with lots of great stuff especially "Greenfinches".
