Saturday 23rd April 2005
1500 - 1600hr
Weather and Sky:
Morning cloud and fogs cleared, now bright and sunny with little cloud. Wind: E F4-5. Temp: 11 dp 4: Visibility: 19km max quite hazy. Cloud: Cu mediocris 3ok. Pressure: static 1012.
Hirundines moving strongly more or less into the wind with at least 71 counted > NNE ish in the one hour watch. Birds were moving very thinly across a broad front, coming over the ridge to the south-west of the watch point. Approximately a 6km (3km to NW and 3km to SE) length of ridge was watched, best as possible and counted continuously during the hour period. There were long periods with no birds and most were higher than expected. All went straight through with none seen coming down to the water. No other moving passerines seen.
