Visible Migration

Houghton 0655-0820
I arrived at 0655 at Houghton to a slight grass frost and a low of 2 degrees Celsius.  It was initially fine, however, at around 0750, thick fog formed and remained for a while before burning off to become a bright and sunny day.
Some evidence of migration seen and heard with the highlight being c.10 Bramblings seen and heard.

c.30 Golden Plover
c.20 Starlings SE
50+ Wood Pigeons (high) S
1 Kestrel

Small numbers of Redwings passed over with the first flock of 5+ seen prior to sunrise.  Further single figure flocks seen over in a southerly heading.  2 Song Thrushes over.
The highlight of the morning was c.10 Bramblings dropping into mostly Sycamores, here they remained for about 10 minutes, calling incessantly before flying off.
