Another of my now regular pre-work watches from St Catherine's this morning (0645-0745) proved very productive with loads of birds moving. The cloud cover perhaps slowed down the gulls a bit which didn't get going until well after 7, with Herrings and Commons leading the charge followed by Black-headeds later. Most notable were the Bramblings and Crossbills, all moving west at some altitude, the former often mixed in with flocks of Redpoll and Chaffinch.
