17th March

Wheatear

Fieldfare

Brean Down. Light NW wind swinging to light Southerly wind increasing in strength throughout the morning. Any low level cloud around was disintegrating rapidly. 2 Peregrines chasing birds very high up drew my attention to high altitude migrants which explained the lack of any sizeable vismig counts. However, 1,600 gulls were recorded moving west and heading out to sea past the south side of Steep Holm where St Donat's, Glamorgan looked to be the target.
A thrush movement noted overnight involving Redwings, Fieldfares and Blackbirds.
