Heavy move of Swifts at midday, again all >W but none showing by early evening.
LBB gulls are a common sight overhead now and are seen moving in various directions and settling in the fields to feed.
Post breeding Pied Wagtails are building in numbers around the area, some still with young in tow, up to 8 on the football pitches now.
Just got an uncomfired report from a reliable source of a Greenshank flushed from Ogden this morning which flew off towards the Oxenhope watchpoint where a sighting had been made over the weekend.
