Visible Migration 24th October 2012 - Hutton Roof Cumbria.
0700hrs to 0930hrs, then crossing over the roof mobile for another 3 hours.
Wind: Started East at 3mph and swung to NE from 0900 to about 10mph
Movement: South unless stated.
Thrushes were going in all directions again, same high pressure stillness and again flattened good passage. Its obvious this high pressure is going to take some moving, but looking at all the signs it now does look good for tomorrow and the weekend. More Starling parties coming through today, usual sizes today at 15-20, west or north west. And several small parties of daytime moving thrushes about (Fieldfare mainly to the NW, but just now getting reports in about a few parties coming down the Lyth Valley NW to SE), so at least theres something going on now throughout the day, unlike more recent days. The late morning Thrushes I got were sort of meandering, with a lazy daudling sort of flight and only at tree top levels. So all this going on I think tomorrow may be pretty good once them "cold northerlies" have settled in.
Fieldfare: 165 Mainly NW but one party SE (best: 40,40,20,20,20,16)
Redwing: 77 Mainly SW but one party E and one party SE (best: 30,20,8)
