Comments: @Fitzybirder: A very enjoyable morning, although birds were moving on a very wide front so many were distant. Another great mippit count, reaching 1,000 by 08.20, 2,000 by 08.55 and 3,000 by 09.50. The 4,000th bird went through at 12.24. Over 20,000 mips have been recorded here in the last 10 days or so. Intriguing record of the day must go to the Ruddy Shelduck that went straight through west with a flock of Cormorants!
