Looking across to Shat country, Emley Moor from Shelf Moor

A better evening after a very breezy day with less rain about. Reasonably quiet around Shelf Moor with very few movers. Lapwings are getting back in the fields as well as BH gulls and Goldfinch numbers are rising.

Several Linnets were in the gorse field but the Little Owl family seem to have moved on.
