Notes Unseasonably warm. It had rained the night before and was extremely overcast with areas of low fog, humidity 79%. This was the lowest number of raptors we have ever had on this route over the years. Gerhard felt it was because of the weather conditions, viz. absence of wind and heavily overcast.
