9th March

As high pressure drifted towards central Europe, light southerly winds produced ideal conditions for some bird movements yesterday. The Netherlands had some impressive movements with 6,200 Cranes at De Groote Peel and 19,000 Lapwing at Noordkaap.

Brean Down: 13mph westerly wind. All heading west 1,000 Herring Gull, 400 LBBG, 8 Meadow Pipit, 6 Alba wagtail and 5 Stock Dove. The gulls were still streaming through when I left.

Weston woods moths: A Satellite and 5 Small Quaker were new for the year.
