By midday gulls were on the move with groups of 3 to 7 LBBs all >SW, 5 Herring gulls were seen moving >W

Thanks to HC this morning for the report of a ring tailed Hen Harrier through our area moving over Oxenhope, Ogden, Hunter Hill and Roils Head.
Due to Howards quick call to Claire his daughter who called me so I could pass it on to DJS , who was  just getting in his car to leave Hunter Hill , he was able to see the bird passing through his watchpoint, nice one Howard!
