Visible Bird Migration - Hutton Roof from Burton In Kendal
, Cumbria (from track on Vicarage Lane) 0700hrs to 0830hrs - the clocks went back this morning!! Wind: SW 20mph to 40mph and increasing during count from 20 to 30 by the finish. 12c temp, 100% Cloud cover, 16400m visibility, 1012mb pressure. Birds trying all the time for South but making them all have a bias to the South West with strengthening winds. By 0830hrs things started to slacken off with bird numbers. (Flight path study on blog later) 

Chaffinch: 403 S Odd party at 20, a few in the tens to mid teens and lots in the 5 to 10s. 
Greenfinch: 2 
Alba Wagtail: 4 
Starlings: 47 W 
Woodpigeon: 12 

Sparrowhawk 1 and Kestrel 1 probably locals.
