A productive morning's skywatching (at last!), with conditions ideal and the classic common autumn migrants on the move, to varying degrees. Thrushes moved over in force, with Redwings dominating (after yesterday's first record of the autumn at the marshes), and Chaffinches were also numerous; almost all flyovers headed west and north west.
