not that these were the only birds spotted - Redwing, Brambling, Jackdaw, Siskin, Redpoll, and even a few Swallows. A tremendous sight to see so many birds on the move, with a background of gently calling Brent Geese in the harbour behind.

VizMig
A visit to the Kench at the bottom of Hayling Island yesterday was highlighted by the visible migration going on for the first 2 hours after dawn. I had heard about the huge numbers of woodpigeons that migrate along the coast at the end of October/early November, and this was the first time I had seen it. Many flocks of several hundred birds worked their way westward - a farmers nightmare of course!
