Time : 7:00~12:00 (7:00~15:00 only on 7. Oct. )
On 7. Oct., no migration in the morning. But, around noon, we found 2 GFB migrators, and we continued the observation. because of the special weather condition. Basically the migrations stopped until noon. Because of wind direction, it changes around noon usually.
“*” means we don’t count the numbers.
