9th October 08 Watch 7.00 - 08.45
Weather: A dry very misty start to the morning with 80% cloud clearer to the east and visibility to only 2 miles. Around 07.30 cloud cleared from the S/W when a F1 S/W was noted reducing cloud cover to 40% these conditions lasted till 08.15 when thick low cloud came in from the S/W giving low cloud cover to 90%. Temp 7c

Comments: A watch of what I have missed rather than what I have recorded with some good movements noted when looking through the 'cloud Window' around 07.30. During this time Greenfinch moved in very good numbers and Wood Pigeon were moving mainly to the S/W rather than due south.
