Observation details
Birds started to take off at 0433. Did not count birds in the air, only those that took off from this spot. 30 birds/minute for 2 minutes. 60/minute for 8 minutes. 10/second for 11 minutes. 15/second for 6 minutes. 20/second for 12 minutes. 25/second for 4 minutes. 15/second for 4 minutes. 5/second for a minute, 30/minute for 2 minutes. Then about 50 stragglers. The easterly wind causes havoc for take-off, with birds piling up at the far end of the "run way" at the edge of the scrub. Lots more birds on the island over night, sounds were louder than usual during the night.
