February 27 [Day 8] The barometer dropped a further 3 hPa, but apart from three snowflakes in the late afternoon there was no sign of the expected bad weather. The wind however was strong from the WNW or W all day, probably gusting to 90 km/h on the ridge and causing extensive blowing snow until mid afternoon, and raising the temperature to 8C. Cloud cover ranged from 10-90% cumulus, altostratus and cirrus giving excellent observing conditions, although there was not much to observe. Only 7 migrants moved north all day and four of them moved west of the ridge above the valley, probably because of the very high winds on the ridge. One of the Golden Eagles was subadult; all the other eagles were adults. 9.42 hours (79.42) BAEA 5 (40), GOEA 2 (31) TOTAL 7 (74)
