Vis mig am. Not a bad watch by local standards. Thrushes moving between WSW and SW Finches more Westerly nb for any species - especially finches, counts are probably undercounts as any heard only bird is noted as 1 bird eg Brambling. Thrushes an undercount as, initially, I was a bit overwhelmed as limited viewpoint meant birds moving either side of me. .
