Visible Migration - 23rd October 2012 - Hutton Roof, Cumbria.
0715hrs - 1030hrs.
Wind: E 5mph, still that stillness atmosphere.
Movement: South unless stated.
 
To say massess (tens of thousands) of Thrushes had landed yesterday on the East Coast and also to say people were reporting hearing "Redwing calls" throughout yesterday evening, very little was showing today and before long (eg: 0900hrs) everything went dead yet again and that stillness returned and the same "going nowhere" type of cloud formations started to form yet again, the sort which hardly anything ever passess through them and I suppose associated with "high pressure".  It was very warm also for the time of the year.

Redwing: 143 (directions mainly SW but some W, N and E) best: 40,30,20,20,20.

Chaffinch: 122 (some E some W)
Brambling: 1E
Siskin: 4 E
Redpoll: 4 E
Goldfinch: 8 E
