Caldene Fields Watchpoint 02-10-2008

2nd October 08 Watch 07.15 – 08.30
Weather: A dry pleasant morning with 80% thin high cloud breaking to the east giving sunny periods. An F1 west wind with a slight drop in temp to 7c

Comments: A relatively poor watch with a number of birds possible moving very high up as distant calls of Redpoll were heard but no birds seen. Greenfinch numbers slightly increased and a southerly movement of BH Gull was noted. One point of interest was on the 29/9 a small number of Mistle Thrush moved N/W and a Redwing was noted, today Mistle Thrush again moved N/W and a single Redwing moved south.
