Visible Migration - Thursday 25th October 2012 - Hutton Roof

0730 - 1600hrs. (2 hours break in between)

Wind: NE 8mph freshning at times and going N by early afternoon.

Movement: West unless stated otherwise.

A far better day, which got going with the Thrushes from about 0845hrs and was pretty good until 0920hrs, then they dropped off and the odds and sods that did come through after that seemed disorientated and odd birds started going in all directions.  From 12noon onwards it really did pick up with 1365 Fieldfare between 1200 and 1330hrs (The count for these was taken from Taylors Fields at Dalton which is at the Bottom of Hutton Roof). As expected Starling picked up today.

Fieldfare: 2007 SW early then developed to W 95%,  and the other 5% going NW or SE (best parties: 250,200,180,110,100)

Redwing: 271 SW or SE

Starling: 302 all SW or W

Meadow Pipit: 14 S

Chaffinch: 98 W,E and S

Alba Wagtail: 6 W or E

Linnet: 5 E

Goldfinch: 4E

Greenfinch: 12 E or W

Jay: 1 NW

Goldcrest came along with LTT

Kestrel: 1 (looked like a mover)

Woodpigeon: 31E lots more but somehow overlooked.
