Canadas on the move
Meadow Pipits hopping through
Fly Flatts 0730-0900hrs Icy cold NNE>6 dark clouds to the north.
Movers struggling in the strong wind with most of the sightings coming up the valley from Paul Clough and low over the moor.A flock of Coal Tits were interesting and a flock of Canadas went east and continued going past the Oxenhope watchpoint. Thanks to DCBs call alerting me to watch for Redwings which I later got at Ned Hill.
Was going to move to Hunter Hill but as I got there a couple of shooters were just arriving so continued on to the Causeway Foot watchpoint at Ned Hill.
