Thursday 5th November 2015 - Hutton Roof (West) 0715hrs to 0900hrs
Wind SE 10-15mph, 9c, 100% Cloud cover, 1011mb pressure - light drizzle and rain from 0845hrs. Confirmation of even more Meadow Pipits coming through which I have never seen before so late in the year.
Meadow Pipit: 111 (singles and pairs and parties of 12,60,30) the high numbered blogging parties had been down on the maize fields and then went off to the South East - Usually around this time of year you would not get numbers above 10 Mipits anywhere from about October 10th, so why all of a sudden are we getting this surge!
Chaffinch: 77 SE (a little better today) Greenfinch: 3 W Goldfinch 56 SE (best: 25,20,5) Alba Wagtail: 14 SE Fieldfare: 22 SE (one party 20) Redwing: 12 SE Starling: 75 W Woodpigeon: 10 S
