First up is 60 seconds of Swift mayhem from 28th June 2020, filmed with my crappy mobile phone (as all the below were), during an insane and unforgettable period for visible migration at my Muston Sands watchpoint, just south of Filey town. Sound up, full screen, and try and imagine this continuing, without a pause, for several hours.....!
Here's the first short clip of Goldcrests arriving in off the sea at the tip of Carr Naze (literally dropping out of the sky), contact-calling with each other, and collectively filtering along the cliff and inland - again, turn the sound up, and see how many you can count (I think there's at least five, but maybe more...?):
Here's the second one as promised, of a single Goldcrest which, to my absolute shock and delight, used me as a 'stepping stone' towards taller, safer vegetation - this happened again an hour or so later!:
Here's the longer of two clips featuring the flood of thrushes - Redwings, Blackbirds, Song Thrushes and Fieldfares - arriving in off the sea at Carr Naze, Filey, in challenging conditions on the very same day:
... and finally, here's a four-second clip, taken literally as I got out of the car just as it was coming light that morning on Carr Naze:
