Visible Bird Migration - Friday October 25th 2013 - from No.8 St James Way, Burton In Kendal.  (The Motorway - M6 Corridor)

I decided to check out another part of Burton In Kendal where the broad front comes through and a part where from my usual watchpoint I would not be able to observe. Again used in the Southerly movement of birds especially Chaffinches which look very much as though on this side they come down using the Motorway (M6 Southbound) as a sort of "landmark", but whether this is so or not!. Again with a further quantity of over 250 it shows there must be numerous birds using this "broad front" which will without doubt include thousands per day (and thats just Chaffinches) over the full broad front corridor over our little village of Burton In Kendal. 

0830hrs to 1333hours. 

Chaffinch: 257 (33W-224SE), Redwing: 29SE, Fieldfare: 142SE, Starling: 30W, Woodpigeon: 24NW, Goldfinch: 5SE (one party), Meadow Pipit: 7SE, Alba Wagtail: 4SE.
