Turdus reflections - East Lancs 1980s - South West migration

(Memories of a past Thrush Vismig Day in East Lancs 1980s):

Look up into the sky, high and sometimes higher (binoculars)
To see the black dots, then look further to see the smaller dots
of Thrushes bounding South West between the broken clouds. 
In stream after stream and all on one line, and too high to count, 
How many hundreds or maybe thousands there could have been.
