Visible Bird Migration - Sun Nov 10th 2013 - Burton In Kendal. 

0730hrs to 0930hrs, NW 3-5mph, 2-3c, 2% Cloud cover, 19400 to 19900m vis, 1011 to 1014mb pressure. Very cold frost overnight with clear blue skies. All movement SE unless stated. 

Chaffinch: 176 (58W 118SE), Mistle Thrush: 1W, Redwing 50W, Woodpigeon: 68S, Starling: 36W. 

Very quiet this morning, even the Chaffinch were blogging with a party of perhaps 100 in and out of the spent maize fields and hedgerows. 

Perhaps another indication of the milder weather in general is the shortage of Jays moving this year compared to past years.

Hi Craig,

I am only hanging in there purely now to count the Chaffinches which are still doing OK, but to be honest I have given up on the Starling and Fieldfares which again (but far worse) have decided not to show in any numbers this year.  After saying that the Redwing did OK on the 10th/11th and 15th of October.  My best Fieldfare this year was 700+ on 11th October.

 

I'll keep you posted,

Bryan.
