| | | Birds going to Jersey
BBC say that birds are leaving icy-cold Britain and going to Jersey where the living is easier, unfrozen ground and plenty of specially grown food.

Typical cold weather movements are in a westerly/south-westerly direction through Britain, with many birds moving into France and potentially Iberia if conditions are bad. |
