November 28 [Day 93] (Raymond Toal) Unfortunately, the observer scheduled for the morning shift failed to arrive so the day’s count, conducted at the Valley View site, did not commence until 1200. The temperature was 2C at noon thereafter falling steadily to -4C at 1700, ground winds were N-NE gusting to 30 km/h and appeared to be strong westerlies at ridge level, and cloud cover was 50-100% altostratus and cirrus. Despite the favourable observing conditions only 2 migrant raptors were recorded: an adult Golden Eagle at 1305 and an adult Northern Goshawk at 1335. A Northern Pygmy-Owl sang at 1340. 5 hours (1018) NOGO 1 (245), GOEA 1 (5202) TOTAL 2 (8203)
