At this time I would like to THANK all who contributed to a very successful
year. Thanks to Eleanor Beagan, Alfred Adamo,Jim Larkin Henry Kroes & most
of all MANY THANKS TO BETSY SMITH all of the above helped increase our hours
of observation & birds recorded during the week day period.This now with
more hours recording have brought year totals to an avg. of 12,000 for the
last two migration seasons!!!All species increased greatly what a joy to
have over 80 Eagles pass over head !!!
From Martin Bence & Mike Williamson we THANK you all.
Observations;Bone chilling -6 temp winds NE @ 15 Km/Hr
I would also like to Single out Betsy Smith who with some guidance increased
her Hawk Watching skills & her confidence to record passing Raptors this
year.It is with a sad heart I close off this migration season as it is my
favourite time of year!!
