Comments: : Plenty of Thrushes blogging about and leaving roost sites but only a slight movement of birds moving. A few Woodies did make a show and what was interesting was that some moved to the S/W. There was an increase in Chaffinch number this morning to the W, and Jackdaws were moving again over Wyke but in general a quite watch. 5 Bullfinch stayed at watchpoint.
