Visible Bird Migration - Sunday October 27th 2013 - from Burton In Kendal. "A Tree Sparrow surprise" And did you remember to turn back the "clocks"! This morning for me, was very light for a change on awakening (normally it would be dark) and so I lost the first half hours vismigging. So Yes I did forget to turn them clocks back! never mind! too late to start bothering about it now.....

First hour dry, then nasty squally showers for the second hour, yet even in such adverse conditions the Chaffinch still kept going through and still plenty going through on my leaving. Could hear distant "thunder" as well. All movement SE unless stated
