20th Oct 2024 – Autumn Migration, Day 4
Day 4 of a 4-day Autumn Migration tour. The weather looked like it might be very difficult today, with Storm Ashley forecast to lash the UK with heavy rain and high winds.

19th Oct 2024 – Autumn Migration, Day 3
Day 3 of a 4-day Autumn Migration tour. The forecast was for heavy rain this morning, which never arrived.
