Species migration 1998-2010
 
Redwing
Surprisingly uncommon as a passage migrant in the Spring, when birds perhaps move overnight more than they do in the Autumn. Large counts often occur most years, with a peak occurring during October, but large counts can easily be missed easily if not on site. Sometimes peak arrival is in early November, but this is dependant on the weather over the North Sea. 4 540 south-west on 26th October 2006 is the record count.
