The Sky at Sunrise!!! (c) 2007

0700 - 1030hrs (Dave Barker / Howard Creber)
SE F1 rising SE F3, 8degC rising 10, 1000m increasing 5.5km, 8/8, QNH 1019 falling.

A disappointing morning weather wise but a steady trickle of birds throughout kept us quite busy. Nowhere near the volume of yesterday but still quite reasonable in view of the conditions. Albas were again strong as were Chaffinches today. Nearly all of the birds including the finches were going south.
