Early Doors, Troubled Skies

04/04/2010 0730-1015hrs cold NW>6 decreasing slightly Heavy showers throughout.
A good move of Meadow Pipits mainly between 0730 and 0830 when birds were moving high in good numbers. This reduced after 0830 with birds coming over in ones and twos and skimming low over the moor making counting difficult.
All the later rain showers and black cloud were to my western side of the hill whilst the blue skies were over the eastern side on DCBs area, typical !
