                      Little Grebe badly silhouetted

 Fall of Blackbirds, all female.

A decent vis mig this morning with a healthy move of Woodpigs, Mipits, Thrushes and Finches which continued until around 0930 when things quietened down.

An early evening visit to Ogden only produced the usual apart from a fall of female Blackbirds from this mornings thrush movement.

Thanks to all this a.m. for text messages reporting skeins of Pink Footed Geese on the move. My phone was on fire but unfortunately all the Pinkies avoided Queensbury, the nearest being 73 over Shelf.
