Vis mig (Swifts)

Vis mig on the 25th (breezy SW and showers) at Luccombe Down included some steady overhead passage; six each of Brambling and Reed Bunting, nine L.Redpoll, 30 Siskin, 200 each of Linnet and Goldfinch, and a Yellowhammer. Other news: Mark Buckley had a swift sp at Haddon's Pits on 24th and likely a 'Pallid'; with another seen at Appley Beach on 25th.

Brambling 6, Reed bunt 7, Siskin 27, L. Redpoll 8, Greenfinch 5, Swallow 13, House Martin 2, Stock Dove 45, Starling 95, Rock Pipit.
