Hunter Hill

Vis Mig 07:30 till 10:30 in a blustery W/S/W F3/4 wind with low cloud
222 moving birds of 15 species
Hard work this morning in the wind (the birds felt the same I think!)
Looked promising first thing but tailed off quickly with nothing after 9:15 other than 2 Mipits.
Moving birds included
92 Meadow Pipits
13 Starling
21 Chaffinch
47 Redwing
1 Reed Bunting
12 Siskin came through so low they nearly flew into me!

Others around the site
1 Wheatear
1 Green Woodpecker
3 Little Owls calling
2 Sparrowhawks
1 Grey Heron
7 Red-legged Partridge
