I poached Bedfordshire's premier vismig spot today - Five Knolls on
Dunstable Downs. The views you have at the top are fantastic. The vis
is also usually at very close quarters, with many birds fizzing past you
at eye-level.

This morning I was joined by Rob Dazley, and we enjoyed a couple of
hours of fun migration watching. No big numbers, but substantially more
than other sites being watched locally at the same time.
The highlights? A Brambling, five Redpolls, and some reasonable numbers
of Redwings.
