Vis Mig - Beer

The highlight of a 'vis mig' watch from Beer Stables 08:15 - 09:30 was easily the two Woodlark west at 09:00. They passed low and just to the north of me offering excellent views in perfect light. Very chuffed indeed - the first (and very long over due!) 'vis mig' record of this species for the patch!

Other totals include: 7 Wood Pigeon, 144 Jackdaw, 2 Redwing, 5 Skylark, 1 Swallow, 24 alba Wagtail, 27 Meadow Pipit, 8 Starling, 1 House Sparrow, 207 Chaffinch, 5 Greenfinch, 21 Goldfinch, 5 Linnet, 19 Siskin and 1 Lesser Redpoll.
