Visible migration (vis-mig) drop-in sessions

Description
Visible bird migration (observing seasonal bird movements) is one of the great joys of Autumn birding and an important way to monitor species, numbers and migratory behaviour. Autumn started for our bird species back in mid summer and November finally sees bird migration slowing down in volume but it is not without its variety and surprises! Join us at our watchpoint overlooking the Derwent Valley as we attempt to spot and record November's movers which can include huge numbers of migrating Wood Pigeon and a good mix of Finches such as Siskin, Redpoll and Chaffinch - will we be lucky enough to pick up a Brambling?
Please bring binoculars if you have them and dress for the conditions with suitable footwear (this is a working farm).
Please note adverse weather conditions/forecast (heavy rain, fog/mist) may lead to postponement or cancellation.
