21/9/23 Ewden Height vis mig

A fantastic vismig session from 6.50 to 8.50 with Meadow Pipits moving southwards throughout and on a broad front which made it overwhelming at times to count. The total recorded will be a fraction of the actually number moving. There was a good supporting cast also including 8 finch and 3 wagtail species, including my first Crossbill for a while and first Skylark movement too. A juvenile Hobby appeared over the moor briefly.

Meadow Pipit 2765
