Vis-mig Hunter Hill

7.00 - 9.15 ideal conditions today with clear skies and a light south-westerly but only small amounts of birds were moving, however there was an interesting selection

all moving south-west unless stated

Meadow Pipit 84
Goldfinch 48
Greenfinch 5 + 1n
Chaffinch 88
Crossbill 6
alba Wagtail 2
Starling 3
Great Spotted Woodpecker 1 n
Swallow 3
Woodpigeon 28
Lapwing 15
Snipe 1
Mallard 1 s

other birds included the usual corvids and BHG's a Kestrel, Little Owl and Merlin (this kept appearing around the quarries). No sign of any pipits or finches around the quarries today maybe this was because of the Merlin.
