Thursday October 23rd 2014 
Visible Bird Migration - Hutton Roof from Burton In Kendal,
 Cumbria (from Track on Vicarage Lane) 0800hrs to 0900hrs. Wind SSW 12mph, 12c temp, 90% Cloud cover, 12400m vis, 1014mb pressure. It just never got going with very few Chaffinch around, the one's that were did not seem too interested. There were a massive party and birds were seen regularly to be chasing one another and behaving rather "undecided" or "blogging". (see flight study notes below) 

Chaffinch: 188 S/SW 
Alba Wagtail: 10 (one party 8) 
Reed Bunting: 1 
Greenfinch: 1 
Redpoll: 1 
Redwing: 15SW 
Woodpigeon 54S 

VISMIG/BURTON IN KENDAL 
WIND DIRECTIONS AND STRENGTHS 
AFFECTS ON FLIGHTLINES
 
Wind: SSW - 12 mph 

Very few birds migrating today, they just did not seem interested, most of the birds were coming in from the NW or N and then joining the local collective blogging party, some of the birds again were seen chasing one another in regular sallies and seemed relaxed.
