Visible Bird Migration - Hutton Roof from Burton In Kendal, Cumbria (from Track on Vicarage Lane). With a late start this morning (grandad chauffering duties!) so only managed 0900hrs to 1000hrs in the atrocious weather. Wind: West 25 to 41mph, 10c, 42% Cloud, 14000m vis, 993mb pressure. Heavy rain showers throughout count. Eased off at 1000hrs as did the wind. 

All movement with passerine to the South or at least trying to get to the South. (See Flight study notes on blog later) A good 80% of the Chaffinch count is made up of birds actually "hedge hopping" to get through. 

Chaffinch: 129 
Goldfinch: 22 (10,12_ 
Alba Wagtail: 7 (3,2,2) 
Redwing: 1W 
Blackbird: 2W 
Pink Footed Goose: 150SW
