Brean Down 6th March

Meadow Pipit

Siskin

Brean Down: 40f (36f wind chill) and 3.5mph NW wind. Vismig now starting to pick up. A light but steady passage of passerines coming mainly from the south-east this morning. Pipits and finches made up the bulk whereas gull passage was at a virtual standstill by comparison to previous days. Totals: 176 individuals, 13 species, 1:30 hours.
The Norfolk satellite tracked Cuckoo's in the Congo have already started moving since the middle of February. Their progress can be viewed here:
