Or least not anywhere I've been in the last three days. The wind seemed to have dropped considerably this morning, so much so in fact that there were good numbers of Mipits, Chaffinches, hirundines and the odd Skylark and Yellow Wagtail heading south over Eyebrook this morning. So forget about seabirds - it's time to dust off the vismigging hat, gen up on passerine flight calls and get out and string stuff flying over instead!

1000+ Swallows heading south in an hour this lunchtime on my local patch...and still going through when i left. Several flocks of Meadow Pipits...[50+]...and a few Siskin heard overhead...
Good day to be looking 'up'...!
Yes, lots of hirundines and Mipits over my garden this morning. Might give Burrough Hill a go tomorrow morning.
Beast... have you tried Langto Caudle yet?
Andy, register on Trektellen if you haven't already and put the records on. Burrough Hill is already there.
The few visits i've paid thus far to Langton Caudle have produced Whinchat and Redstart John.
Would love to have been up there today but had to visit the quack this morning to see if i'd still got a pulse....[i have...apparently]...
Will be going 'up there' again soon...[pulse permitting]...!
Oh for a Sandhill Crane whilst viz-migging in the rigging...
[Fat fuckin chance]...!
