Monday 19th October 2015 - Hutton Roof (Farleton Side) Over 3000 REDSSD5498179279) 0800hrs to 1300hrs 

Wind: NE 5-6mph, 5-10c, 50% Cloud cover, 1027mb pressure. 

95% of all movement was North 

Very few birds had actually come through by 0915hrs (eg: 527) and had gone generally very quiet and I was just about to pack up and by 0945hrs Redwing started to pile through with party after party with 98% coming in from a entry somewhere over Lancaster and going over Hutton Roof (from West side to East Side) before crossing the Lune Valley and continuing to the North probably in a Killington direction. Some large parties came through and by just as quick as it had started by approx 1030hrs (45 minutes later) it stopped and during the time of busy passage I had no less than 1675 Redwings (in 45 minutes). Birds kept coming through every 5 to 10 minutes after that and by 1300 things had gone really quiet, but although I packed up I am sure birds would have carried on all day. 

Redwing: 3170 (95% North, some W,NW) (46 parties) (best parties: 400, 5x150) 
Fieldfare: 600 (95% North, some NW) (14 parties) (best parties: 80, 3x70) 
Startling: 30 W 
Meadow Pipit: 27 
Chaffinch: 8 
Grey Wagtail: 1W 
Greenfinch: 4 (3 E) 
Goldfinch: 6 (one party 5E) 

Wall Butterfly x 2
