Strong W>5 a.m. then calm with sunshine and showers p.m. Luckily missed the torrential rain reported from Halifax and Brighouse areas.
Very little in the skies today apart from a few blogging Swallows and a local Heron going down to the Station Rd pond.
On my way home a Sparrowhawk glided slowly overhead being mobbed with 2 Collared Doves and several Swallows but before I could get the camera out it had gone into the sun never to be seen again.
BS.
