Visible Migration!

Easy to choose the music today:

Led Zeppelin-The Immigrant Song

Today was a cold day...I don't usually feel it but I did today! Highlight was the viz mig at Selsey Bill with over 400 Meadow Pipits in by 10:30, a figure that rose to 625 by 12:30, also 26 Pied Wagtails and at least one Chiffchaff in and it was surprisingly entertaining to watch.

At West Fields approx. 40 Curlews.

 Had a look at Medmerry both east & west for a Wheatear but no luck while I see Sand Martins are being reported in Hampshire-I should've checked Ivy Lake then...doh!
