Stratocumulus with 400M cloud base containing a Bullfinch.
Brean Down. Light variable wind with bands of low level cloud clearing throughout the morning. Very little vismig on the Down and no arrivals of Wheatear or Chiffchaff by late morning. Passerine passage stayed at a trickle throughout the morning and gull passage never really got going either. I watched a Bullfinch take off from the trig point (90M above sea level) and circle gaining height for about 3-4 minutes until I lost it in the clouds possibly around 400 metres above sea level. I'd be tempted to say that many birds were going overhead undetected but the Dutch radar showed little movement and there was a big clear out the last two days so perhaps just a quiet day.
