Observation start time: 07:00:00 
Observation end   time: 14:00:00 
Total observation time: 7 hours

Official Counter:        Matt Oswald

Observers:        Keith Sealy, Ronnie Goodhand

Visitors:
Monica and Bruce from Sudbury and thanks to Matt, Ronnie and Keith for
hanging in there to get a count done despite the poor flight.


Weather:
Well we got some not bad SW winds for the entire day along with lots of
sunshine. Temp ranged from a cooler 10C to a high of 20C.

Raptor Observations:
Despite the good wind direction for species that like to fly the cliff with
SW winds providing great vertical lift not a single Peregrine today. VERY
strange.

Just 30 birds total today.

Non-raptor Observations:
None reported.
