1 Hour Watch

{yoogallery src=[/images/stories/blog/HH301012]}
Today's mini-migration watch was more about quality rather than quantity. I arrived late at Hale Head, a good hour and 10 mins after sunrise, where I joined fellow migration watcher Rob Cockbain and Paul Long. Just for a change I had my camera with me and I didn't even get a chance to set it up properly before a party of Raven passed very close by.

In less than an hour we had enjoyed a good range of migrants (see the results on Trektellen) but surprisingly I'd managed decent record shots of a variety of birds and at least one decent shot of a kestrel.

Some days there is an advantage to staying in one place and letting the birds come to you.
