Oxenhope watchpoint and a sign of early dispersion.

  Early dispersion, Coal Tit on the feeders, taken through glass.

                    Plenty Common Sandpipers at Oxenhope


                                    LBBs stopping off to bathe


                                 Several birds in moult.

A grey cloudy day with a strong W>5 decreasing and becoming brighter by mid afternoon.
A good sign of early dispersion starting with a single Coal tit on the feeders, a bird we rarely get and only passage birds July through autumn.
An hour at the Oxenhope watchpoint late afternoon to check out the gulls found c150 LBBs stopping off at the water briefly before moving on in various directions but no Yellow Legged as yet. No shoreline so the only waders present were Common Sandpipers, Redshank and a small number of Curlew.
A Cuckoo called from the wood but deep in the foliage whilst Swifts and Swallows were numerous.
 Raggalds Flood which is now bone dry held 1 ad male and 1 juv Pied Wagtail.
