Curlews were moving through with still one or two on the moor,whilst Meadow Pipits were starting to show signs of flocking ready for the big move. Swifts blazed through early doors which was probably a feeding party skirting the approaching weather front and the highlight of the watch was 2 Common Terns heading >NW which nearly got past me before I realized they were not BH gulls .
