FW: THRUSH FLOOD....... 27-09-2007

Hi John, Jef and Hans,

Just got back from the moor (Oxenhope watchpoint) and confirm your GIGA radar morning for Redwings in the Netherlands Hans is here in the UK also!!

In 4 hours from 0700 - 1100hrs we have had 3825 Redwing and at least 5 Fieldfare initially travelling west and then from c0930 movement swinging to the North West. Birds initiallly quite high and then as the morning progressed flocks dropping lower.... Ideal 8/8 conditions for picking them up.

Also supporting cast of Brambling, Hobby, Peregrine and Jay. A TOP MORNING at our watchpoint!

Dave Barker and Howard Creber....
Glad there were two of us!!!!!

Just outside the Halifax area I know but certain you will be getting them as well!

Well done, what a cracking day. Out of interest were the migrants coming over from Fly Flats or Ogden/Thornton Moor end or more from the Bradford side?
All the best.
