Wintersett + Vis.Mig + Gull Roost + Pics 03.11.18

7 - 12 degrees with 4/8 cloud and a light south westerly.
ANGLERS CP VIS.MIG  per Graham Speight and Paul Meredith  A Waxwing south east at 07.03hrs  was a very good start to another interesting day, with good variety and a reasonable passage of Fieldfare and Starling all morning. Hooded Crows south at 08.25 and west at 12.15 were the major highlight though - the last Hoodie here was in May 2014, before that November 1981! We possibly overlooked a significant corvid moment today - not easy to detect here as we have a large roost.
