DJS on Foreside Lane...
DCB on Windy Corner
Soil Hill p.m.visit 1515-1630hrs. Strong NNW>6 gusting 7 Bright and sunny.
Blowing a gale on the hill and struggled to stay upright. Far too windy for sky movement although a few Swallows rocketed through and 2 Sand Martin over the NK pond boosted moral.
Received 2 phone calls whilst up there with birders wanting to know if I was the idiot stood there on the highest point in that wind. First was from DJS down on Foreside Lane about half a mile below me hoping for something good on the fringe of the moor ,and the second from DCB on Windy Corner at his watchpoint, about a mile away, as the crow flys, who was probably getting blown about as much as me. Good to see you out giving it a go lads.
