Beddington in context



Interesting some of the regional differences in these hard weather movements:

A steady trickle going past Spurn:

Little in the way of visible migration at Dungeness:

Influx of Woodcock and some oddities at Sandwich:

A major concentration occurring at snow-free Portland:

And my mate Jaffa, posted at Budleigh Salterton is having a bit of what Portland is having:

Looks like birds are concentrating in the south-west where they are finding snow free areas. Also looks like visible migration is more evident at some inland sites than at coastal sites.
